I'm glad I take loads of photos, great for comparison and to remind me how much I've got done when things seem to be going slow.

Had a spare half hour to play and the weather wasn't too bad so I did the other side.

Same set up.

Ordered some mats the other day, bit too light but anything is better than the rubber mats in there at the minute.

Rears are a bit big, but I should be able to make them fit. (Not putting them in until the carpets and seats have had a proper wet vac)

Thought I'd fit the metal rear number plate that's been sitting in the garage since last year, I wanted to get rid of the plastic backing between the rear lights.

Came off easy enough but then I saw this

Not rusted through but a nasty little scab

The rear lights are so well stuck in and I don't have time for a proper strip down at the minute so I did a running repair on it.

Didn't come out too bad, by the time I've got the rest of the panel polished and the numberplate stuck on I don't think you'll really notice it.

May not matter to a lot of people but it's all in the detail for me

Once the tailgate is sorted, badges removed and new back box, it should be a good looking rear end!

Fronts aren't a perfect shape and rears are too big, but they were cheap and they'll do for now.
