vents refitted to save damage



then made a start on the loom ( i fucking hate looms ) lol

bulkhead sound deadening refitted



then pulled the loom thru , started working out whats what ect ,








waiting on some new bay clips for final fitting



fast forward to today , manage to pop round for twenty min , and ks been busy ..

kits fitted ( washers aint staying waiting on other bolts ) , doors rebuilt locks , handles , exterior window trims ,
