Hi all, bit of an update, engine is back from the machine shop, rebore to +30, crank polished, unleaded seats done in the cylinder head. I've cleaned it up & gave it a repaint & new core plugs so its ready for rebuilding soon.
Also the original Sport steering wheel has arrived back from the trimmers, new black leather rim, the centre pad is original, I've just cleaned it up & I've also polished up the silver spokes & stripped & resprayed the black metal bits

Also fitted quarter light glass & drop glass & mechanisms in doors, the drop glass was deeply scratched & they wouldn't polish out so had to resort to buying new ones..
Booked a week off work this week & was hoping to get the headlining done but the trimmer said he's fully booked this month & can't do it for a while
So feeling a bit fed up today I thought I'd do it myself despite that I'd never fitted one before although I've watched them being done on my Cortina & blue Escort.
So after spending all day sweltering in this heat this is the result..
I'm really pleased how its turned out with no major disasters considering I've never done one before! There's a couple of ripples here & there but I can live with them, At least I can say I've done it myself & also saved myself 80 quid by not paying someone else to do it!
thats it for now,
Cheers, Stu.

I noted you have no door lock on the passengers side, guess you're keeping it that way ?
