On and On and On as they say. So I am trying to get all the jobs done and out of the way to stop providing me with an excuse not to start on the engine rebuild. I think I am pretty much out of “other” job now. 😆

I put in place the rear seat arms and fixed them permanently. I also made good the rear parcel shelf as the vinyl I had cut to the template was a little short with my new headliner. All good now though.

I found the carpet set we bought from Retro Mobile…. not this year… but last year (nearly one of the first things we bought for this car 😆 ). It is from Neoretro and is pretty good quality.

It was a good half day fitting this carpet. The edges were the most difficult as the carpet is quite rigid so getting it to stay in place was a task. But I finally got the hang of it on the last piece 😉

The back is starting to look better now – I am waiting on the sticky back vinyl for the doors before I put on the door cards.

I also fixed the problem with the number plate light. It only came on when I opened and shut the boot lid. So led me to an earthing problem. I was a little miffed as I had run a dedicated earth wire to the lights. Put my meter on it and found no earth at all. The other end was so close to the connector but had not been connected – quick screw and all is fine 😀
