Sweet, yeah i've already done the pillars and headlining etc. It's just i was too scared to spray the trimmings and i also had no idea about how to get that sunroof panel out.

I know what i'll be doing on my bank holiday now! :)

You'll have to mask up the Black half of the trims though, I didn't do this, and got shag loads of overspray on them, haha

Mental note taken, thanks!

For the headlining i used "plasti Koat Satin pink", just regular spray paint for models n stuff, To get the sunroof thing, Once the headliner is out (take all the trims out the doors, and remove mirrors, sunrof handle and them holder on things, oh, and pillars too, It slides out, Then you will be able to see the sunroof fabric slider bit, Which is on some runners, there are some little plastic bungs at the end, take them off and just slide the sunroof fabric thing out, Hope it makes sence,

It's easy enough to do, Just time consuming taking everything out haha,

as for the gear gater, I hate that lmao (came with the car)

yer i know how to take it all out I've redone the headlining myself but its now sagging like a bitch so i might just remove it all and spray all of it black and spray the speedo surround, radio surround, air vent surrond in red

it's worth doing bro, taking the center console out is a bit of a pain, But when it's sprayed, it looks smart, and deffo gives an edge to the car's interior

Hmmm, tempting...

the sidewall of the tyres sits about 3mm out from the arch, so its realy hard to get any tuck :/

It's a bit trickier than it looks haha,

I thought it would be an hour or so of a job, But it took from 10.30 until 16.30 (down to rusty corroded bolts in auquard places)

didn't help that the only tools we had were mole grips and drill bits haha

ha ha ha mine was off last month so should be ok :-)

it's so much easier once you've done it once, why did you put an air filter onto another air filter box?

no surely you didn't...................hahahahaha

have you removed the orginal filter?

Yeah i removed the original air filter... But the BMC wouldn't fir directly onto the carb, as it was off a 1.4, and mines a 1.0, so improvised a way and it works :D haha
