Thanks for all the info gents.
I have 3 sets of seats so for the first set I have emailed Politecnic to place an order for the DA6 type (red and black)
Once fitted I will decide if I like them and if not go down the "carjoy" route.
Awesome. Can't wait to see and hear what you think about it. It it sounds like pure Car Joy to me!

DISASTER......So due to work commitments I had been rather busy but as you may remember I had fitted the headlining and was rather pleased with how it came out. On wednesday I spent the day making templates for the "A" pillars. I am making the templates.from cardboard.so its easy to cut mark and figure out where the holes.for the fixing buttons go. I then transfered the template.to hard board.and offered.them up...Perfect. Yesferday I was going to cover the board.in a thin sponge the use black vinyl to cover.them.Here in the UK it was.35c yesterday and when I opened the car i was met with the sight of a sagging roof lining. I think the heat melted.the glue. I used a.proper cloth spray adhesive. So yesterday and today was spent removing said headlining recovering and fixing using a stronger glue and refitting. At least Im getting a nice.tan!!!

You really need to use an adhesive like this one

Headlining redone and refitted. After 4 attempts finally got the A pillar covers to look "ok". And started installing the soundproofing on the floor. Tomorrow is a big day! should at last be able to refit the dash!!!!!

Thanks Anders. Must confess i cheated. After three attempts to get the poppers in the right place I ended up using some "grab fix" . I put a small spot where the buttons should be and then clamped them while it dried. They look ok. I used hardboard covered in thin sponge the wrapped in vinyl.

Terry, that sounds like a much better solution than the original! I would have thought the panel was curved, but since you've used hardboard, I guess it's not? I don't plan to do mine this time, but the cardboard is broken in several places so it sits loose, so I need to do something about it... but, leaving good work for later is part of my plan

You are correct Anders. It is curved down the length, it also gets slightly wider at the bottom and curved along the screen. Awkward shape but by making cardboard templates it was a lot easier. Also the hardboard is the type you get in flatpack furniture so can easy be bent to shape.

Spent the day removing and cleaning the rust from the window door runners, then refitting. The build up of rust in the channels had caused the gaps in the runners to close considerably.
Now onto the next task............re-cover the door cards in black vinyl.

Is this for the window mechanisms? Interesting finding you have there about the rust and gaps closing - which must increase friction quite a bit!

Spot on Anders. When i stuck my head in there i could see in places the gap was almost closed in places. When i pulled the rubbers out there was quite a bit of rust in places. I used a dremill with a grinding stone to remove it. Also the rubber had been pushed in in places. As it has a small lip to try.to prevent this it was also closing the gap.

Fitting the Fuse board supplied by Roy! Fantastic piece of work. Even I can fit it (being careful to connect correctly, one wire at a time) Removed the clip part of the old wire so they don't need soldering. The main power take off was a tight fit to get in to the connector and needed the screw to be completely removed before it would slide in but the rest are a perfect fit..............Thanks Roy....
Not completed yet (its raining....at last)
