Well just came in for a quick break after working on the car for about 3 hours now.
I slept in til 11 so didnt really get an early start as planned!
Popped over to B&Q to get some stanly blades and then once i got home i started stripping a bit more out to get the carpet out.
I done everything and then relised i needed a 10mm very small bit to get into one piece of plastic which has minimal access. This is the reason i havent taken the whole carpet out as per the pictures!
Cleaned all the panels up with Acetone and then started applying the stinger roadkill with a heat gun,
All the floor pan is done, and i have just started working on the drivers side rear quater and rear c pillar,
Heres a few quick pics

Yes, but no where around here has one.
Halfords don't have one, they have a flywheel puller that looks simular to a steering wheel puller but theres no point buying it if it won't fit.

Look, dash has been sprayed with Halfords new flexible vinyl spray paint, costs £10 a tin  paid for two stole one
Fitted new door cards without holes in, sprayed all the black bits in the car so they look new, so has full GSi trimings now.
Dash needs another coat, as pictures show, still has a a grey sort of tint to it.
Looks good though, very impressed with my handy work.
