Removed the exhaust manifold to be welded where it has begun to crack. Run out of enthusiasm so I'll weld it once the new gaskets arrive.

Fitted a new mpi carpet set and booked it in for some body/paintwork above rear valance.

Prepped it for paintwork in two weeks.

More fettling on the new carpet - drivers side corner. Also, fitted the new battery.

Changed my leaking heater matrix for a new brass/copper one, hoovered the front carpet and stuck it down properly with some tape.

Picked it up from the resprayer after having the boot hinge panel and rear number plate light unit done. Body work done on the hinge panel, as well. Please with the result.

Finally put one of mine in one of my sheds after a car shuffle!

Low noise HIF44 air intake is done. 1380 with MG Metro Intake manifold was noisy with the K&N cone and also had limited height so could not get a std filter box on.

Finally fitted and wired in the centre console.  It was a tight fit but looks great.

Fitted new rear bumper and attached new pop rivet to left arch (where one came loose). 

 

Annoyingly, after a run to fuel up, the car cut out. Glad it happened on my drive! Turns out the connection to the starter motor is f*****! Took the grille, sides, and hose off, ready for tomorrow where I'll add a new connection. I had this issue before and made a temp fix. This time it will be permanent fix.

Fitted a block connector to the starter motor, now that darn connector issue should be fixed for good! I then rewired the spots and cleaned up the grille while it was off (adding new screws once back on to attach). Some fettling to do to the alignment of grille/sides, no rush though.

Are they live wires into an uninsulated chop block!!!
If so it looks like a disaster waiting to happen. Hopefully I'm wrong.

 That looks great, I might do that myself at some point. Could you give me the link for the centre console and additional USB bits etc?
