Small update..
The shell is back in the workshop now and I'm picking small jobs off as and when I can.
The air con unit is now fitted and to my amazement the special air con bulkhead that came with a donor Sapphire was totally rust free
Air con spec sound insulation fitted..(wiring still needs tidying)
Some of the air con wiring that I removed from the donor..
Headlining material now needed
The front brake kit (going silver bells)

The original grille has a lug broke off and could be welded if I can find the bit, the grille that Marco lent me is now scrap.
