Some pics of the past weekends progress on the car - have finally got all the dash out, wiring looms, carpets, underlay etc.

Wiring looom itself has filled up half a large cardboard box. I don't want to see it again lol...nightmares!!

Removed this crossmember to let me get easier access to pedals etc to remove. Crossmember will be going back in as the steering column mounts on to it and I still need to be able to move car. Also, when the cage gets welded in, this part is pretty much in their for life anyhow.

Pedals off, loom was secured in behind them.





Loom out, just left with the underlay / insulation.

Went and bought a heat gun (an extremely hot hairdryer!), to help remove all the seam sealer. Tried it out today and to be honest, it's not hard, just time consuming.

A few bits I tried it out on first.



Sealer in passenger footwell:


More under where passenger seat would sit:


And the part I'm really not fancying doing - the roof:

Worried that on the roof it's easy to damage if not careful.

Guessing the seam sealer might take a couple of weekends at my pace to do it, have been told it takes 3 days normally at it constantly to remove.

After that it should be ready for a rollcage but I need a few things to go my way, so fingers, feet and toes crossed for that.
