I did leave the old insulation in as at that point I was starting to get a little demoralised.

But I am doing the same to my little 4CV before putting in the head liner……. but yesterday I forgot to shut the bonnet properly – I soon found out when it hit the windscreen with such a bang. I now have a bonnet that looks like it has been cut in half with an axe…. not happy 🙁

Not surprised you got demoralised with all the work you did. I am doing very little compared to you and am to say the least fed up with it already. I love doing the work but it seems it is not just doing what is in front of you but a whole list to get to that point. You do not realise how big these cars are until you start rubbing down and see how much paint will be needed. I am looking at around 8 litres of top coat.

Sorry to hear about the bonnet, are they easy to get? I did the same with a MK1 Escort Mexico which was so costly I still shudder.
