Hi all

Just an update on my wide arch, Chris and I have cleaned the entire floor and got rid of all the rust and have spayed the floor to seal it. We then put all the rubber foam back mates in, all nuts and bolts to fix safety belts and so on.
I hired a steam cleaner from hss hire to do all the carpets and the seats, they came up pretty good I am pleased with them. The carpets have gone back in quite easy.

All of the seat brackets where rusty and the ecu bracket and cover was also rusty, we had to rub them down and give them some treatment and a respray.

All of the bottom of the seats and brackets where rusty, these also had to be treated and respayed they came out quite nice.

I had to change the tailgate as the wide arch one had lots of holes in it, it was a bit tricky wiring the new tailgate in but we got there in the end.

I have now rewired the battery to the back of the car, the battery is wired in the boot just need to build the box/cradle for it.

When I took the battery out, there is lots of rust and damage where the battery was. Most of this is where the old battery was not fixed in place and move against the alternater, this then leaked battery acid over the car engine bay.
I had to throw the old battery away as it had a big hole in it, the acid has leaked and sprayed everywhere.
