after sitting for nearly 5 months the car was pretty disgusting inside. So first job was to strip the interior for a clean and to sort some wiring issues, and get the new fuel pump wired in. 

Now I wanted to address a few other issues firstly after a previous repair on the ewg take off it left the waste gate fouling the top radiator hose so that has all be stripped off and has gone to be corrected. While it’s off the exhaust is going for the ct9 reducer removed. So while that’s off I’ve given it a good polish. 

Seats have been stripped and given a wash and then put back together. And I might have accidentally bought a spoiler for this bootlid should make it look a bit more purposeful.  

Got a few custom bits lined up to. Stay tuned.

Right picked the mani back up from racetech last week, picking the exhaust up from schuband auto works tomorrow so I can rebuilding it soon. 

My little helper has given the carpet a good clean To with a 50/50 mix of AB magifoam and FAB then jet washes and hoovered. 

And old glue removed from the wind deflectors new glue tape applied ready for going back on.
