Made a bit more progress with the car this weekend, as I started to sort the interior out at last!
First up was the audio install in the boot:
While I do appreciate a good sound system I found it took up too much usable space and went well beyond my needs. I had taken it out previously and inspected everything, for a ten year old install it was very well put together. The right fuses were used and very high quality, the groundings were good and they had used the right cables for each section; it even had a capacitor for the sub!!!!! There were also a fair few unused cables that I can only assume were left over from a previous install; these went too.
The interior has also annoyed me for a few more reasons, the switch panel on the dash being the main one, but also the general state of the grey headlining and carpet. I didn't see much point trying to clean it up as the visors and light surround were a bit yellow and I didn't fancy trying to dye the carpet either; seemed much easier to just replace them both!
So Keron was good enough to put this little package together for me to fit into the car, there is also a spare wheel but the wife wouldn't let it in the house!
This is all the boot trim I was missing (polystyrene, tools, spare wheel, board and carpet), black leatherette headlining, black UK spec carpet and a set of J Spec dash panels
I'm really happy to have a boot again and the black carpet and headlining really pick up the interior compared to the grotty, 23 year old grey that I had before
The spare dash panels have a carbon fibre covering, but this will probably go once I figure out what kind of finish I want; but aside from that I probably won't look to change much more this year.
