You should go for retractable harness' like mine :) much easier to reach for buttons or toes if your doing a stretch ;)

Today I moved back home from University for good, so once I'm settled in I'll get in the garage!

I moved back yesterday and fully unpacked, organised, tidied and settled in last night.. so today I managed to get the late afternoon / evening in the garage.

Not many pictures as I was on a rampage.

Some parts of numerous eBay stores. I also got a big bag full of various fixings from Moss.

Door handles & gaskets are in, the doors now fully operate from the outside.

And perhaps the biggest milestone since having the shell back from the bodyshop.. ta da!

Great Work, I'll be undergoing something like this (hopefully less unexpected rust) when I find the right car, keep it up! :)
