i hadn't took the satnav out the glovebox before putting the gearbox in either which someone found rather funny

I remember seeing the gearbox in there.
Cars looking a lot better now it's had a clean.

The car does look a lot better now, I'll pop some more photos up shortly.
I found the o/s front Tyre was going down rather quickly, turned out to be a leaky valve which I've had replaced today and it's fine now, all leak checked by some pro's down the road. Ultimately these Ford wheels will have to go and as soon as possible.
:ashamed: :hidesbehi

tbh she was bought simply to get me to work & back cheaply, which she did well. She also had her uses when it came to picking up bits for BT & the local tip run
theirs a JamesT5R in there as well somewhere lol

Haha the drivers seat on my D5 is glued too, it's horrible, God knows what abuse my car got to burst the seat.
Post 725602 by p fandango on 2014-07-23 08:20:14
the floor mats were a cheap set off ebay think the drivers one came apart
Post 725777 by Liddo on 2014-07-24 10:52:45
I glued the seat in my Green S60, then when I went to get it repaired properly, the guy wasnt happy as he bent lots and lots of needle re-doing the seam :D He also said Super Glue will rot the material...............yes material, its not leather on the bolster, only where your body is in contact with the seat is leather ;)
Looking lovely and "clean" for a change. Will look even better with "proper" wheels on :D

Thanks for all the positive comments, the car does look a lot better now and it's cost hardly anything to do either. There's some scratches over it which I'll touch in with some touch-up paint form Volvo, then wet sand the area and polish and wax, it's something I did on the T5 and it improved the appearance of the car ten-fold.
The inside looks night and day different, I even impress myself when I get in to the car. With the glovebox cover, I can either re-upholster the surface with just the coating or get a tidy one from a breakers. I just need a cup holder to go in to the dash next to the radio and a few lightbulbs for the DIM and the inside will be looking a lot better for not very much money at all.
Oh, I love the 'little jobs'. :D
