Thanks Flash! Little bits but all make a nice difference for me :)

The door cards will be off over the new year!
 
Good luck, have you done it before? Should be ok, but it can be sensible to have some spare clips, especially as the plastic will be brittle due to being so cold.

Had the door cards off last week, replaced the front speakers... someone had fitted Sony XS 4" which were far too small for the space.
I've fitted some Fusion Mid-Range Reactor 5¼" They are actually part of a component set but i've not fitted the tweeters / cross overs and not sure that I will but that can be retro-fitted at any point. They fit much better, actually filling the speaker recess.

I re-attached the door cards properly and used some contact adhesive to bond the top rubber/plastic bit back to the door card as it was half way off and rattled a lot when closing / opening the doors!

I didn't fix the slow windows unfortunately :? I've a feeling it's to do with how the wiring has been split for the TOAD alarm system (which closes the windows automatically when locking the car). I may take it to an auto-electrician to have the alarm stripped out and re-fitted or replaced for something else. As whilst it works i've no proof it was fitted professionally and there are a few areas where its wiring couple be tidied up!

The passenger seat is currently out, I saw it fade into the distance on the rear bench of an Escort RS Cosworth :wub: i'll look for the cause of the rattle when I get it back.

The battery is currently disconnected so I plan to clean up the ICV before reconnecting it!
 
Couple of things done today (not much)

1. Fixed the centre cap which had jettisoned one of its inserts somewhere in East Anglia

2. Took off my old Sparco seat covers and replaced with the new tailored FRP seat covers. Note, only the passenger side has been fitted since the old Sparco seat cover had left blue colouring over the seat hence I spent time cleaning this off and didn't want to fit the new cover in case the fabric cleaner caused the new covers to fade.

 
looking good them seat covers mate, will definatly have some when i get some funds together
 
awesome mate. wheel beerings are 90 quid each from ford!! One on ebay at the mo for 35, so id look at gettting that mate if you can
