I have got my car back at last!!! I don't belive it .The power of tradeing standards eh.It only took the guy 3 months!.Everything but the lights is working now new tank is in oil light is out(was the barrel shaped elec thingy he says that sits under the dash)top hose sealed and so on.I am gonna try to sort the lights myself so watch this space.Also major thanx to birminghamtr7 who sold me a full set of tan trim except seats but all the other bits.he also sorted me some alloy wheel centres so I have all the bits I just need sun and time this weekend.thanks to all who gave advice and support through my troubles[:X][:X]

Time to enjoy, just in time for summer, lights can always be hand cranked up (if they come on) if you get caught late into the night.

Hi Steph,
Great news [8D] and still summer [8D] As my learned friend Martin said, get up to Billing, with the amount of knowledge that will be there if we cant fix your light then no-one will [;)]
Enjoy your car,
Cheers John

Hey Hey[:D].I am one happy bunny ,I am on the road (almost) I have not taxed the car yet as I am waiting for the begining of the next month.When is the biling show? where is biling? and if you guys can fix those pesky lights the beers are on me[:X].I am busy ripping out my mix and match interiour at the moment to fit my tan items.My husband took the carpet set to work and jet washed it so looking good.I will try and get some pictures up as my new carpet set is original trim and my old one was a homemade jigsaw so I have a few bits on my new set I am unsure what to do with.They do not match anything I,ve pulled out.I am taking my new(to me) bl alloys to quick fits for new boots as well so no stopping me now[:p].
Ps.all lights come on with ignition go out when engine on.Lights 'light' but the pop up bit is disconnected as it was beyond the 'specialist' HA [:(!] to fix it so left up for MOT.

Steph,
bottom left: Drivers & passenger A post footwell kick trim,
bottom centre - not sure!!
bottom right; looks like rear arch carpet pieces for behind the seats;
top right: rear shelf carpet piece (the holes are where the seat belts bolt through);
top left: side trim carpet pieces to go on vertical face immediately above the rear shelf. I think there should be a 3rd piece for the centre part of that trim as well.
Hope this helps[:)]

Steph,
Eeerrr I may be wrong but isn't the car in your signature a convertable?
If so you don't need most of the "carpet set"
If your car is a fixed head then I should have gone to Specsavers! [:p]

the 3rd piece that fits the centre spotted under my car when you left.
the 2 pieces of vinyl in the middle fit where roof hinges fit. so goes between door post carpet and rear deck sides.
if you factor in the earth's rotation, we are all speeding

TR Tony is dead on. Missing vertical back panel as he says. The parts he isn't sure about are thin vinyl pieces that fit the rear sides and are folded over the top lip that the rear quarter metal trim fits over (the black trim with snaps.) The impressions you see are were the hood bolts to the body. Also fits under the metal trim just behind the top of door (rear.) If yours is still on take this trim off (one screw) and you will see it.
