Here is the boot.........all rust treated and painted.
This section was really bad, some areas actually broke through........might still have to cut it out.

Here is the rear parcel shelf with the 6X9 cut outs.........don't need these for the factory look:  Removed the meltrim and cut some MDF to suit the holes, once the liquid nails had dried I sanded smooth.  The only drama is the underside, it has a material that looks like carbon fibre, has anybody seen this stuff for sale?..........might have to look in spotlight.

Needed to remove the rear seat in order to "blow" some colour around the boot........the seats had faded to a Brown colour.   Recovered or recoloured?   Here is the difference:

Was it vinyl spray? You can spray that stuff on carpet and sort of rub it in with a brush and then wipe excess off...could work for seat material maybe. |

Big day on the car..........needed to replace the doors because of this:   Door prepared and sprayed Atlantic blue:   With door rubber:  Door replaced.......god I hate lining up panels..........especially by yourself, but everything fits.   Door reassembled with glass and locking mechanism........need to replace the regulator with the other one, as I shut the door the shaft fell out!!!!

Got sunburnt panels?...........here is a way to rejuvenate them..........grab a blade and remove the "dust" until flat plastic can be seen. Rub over with some 600 after to remove marks. Spray in flexi-prime, let dry then spray a few coats of stoneguard over the panel.......make sure you feather out the spray pattern. Once dry paint with colour. I have rescued the passenger side trim..........filled the hole:  and used the above procedure for this outcome:  Just need to give the trim a final coat of colour. |

As good as new mate, enjoy! I assume the stone guard is used to restore the factory texture? |

Here is the passenger side pod test fitted and coloured, looks much neater without the gouge marks or holes:   Started the drivers side pod:  Just need to rub back the high fill (to remove the marks) add stone guard then colour.
