Floor pans are as good as it came out of the factory will more than likely get the underneath and inside floor wax oiled before I put everything back in.

was toying with the idea of lowering it and messing with it but got that idea out my head now and returning her to totally standard including the stereo.

once the interior is all mint again and the dashboard cleaned up I will then make a start with the running gear which lets the car down badly , plan to remove everything in the engine bay have it re-sprayed and start from there. that said I work 90 hours a week married with 2 kids so it might take a bit longer than I would like it done but hey ho that's life eh.
