I summoned up the courage and removed the old headlining. I now have a pile of very smelly and wet material which is going off to be used as a pattern for a nice new headlining. I found that the rear window is letting a lot of water in and that the wood surround had rotted. Managed to salvage enough for a template to cut a new one out of ply.

I have removed the back seat but how do you get the side bits off?

The interior is now looking very nasty and it looks like the inside of the shell has never been painted. So will now remove all the insulation and attack the metal with wire brush and treat with rust preventer. Then a nice coat of etching primer followed by a couple of coats of paint. I will then look at sound insulation.

Electrics have moved on as well. Now have a 12 volt starter with remote solenoid and a 12 volt coil. I just need to fit the 12v to 6v converter and sort out the wiring for wipers, fuel sender and gauge. I am still debating if I should leave dash lights 6v or go 12v.
