gave the car a wash today and it is still leaking into the passengers floor :@
had a good look at it and found its coming in through the heater and i cant find a spot of rust in the plenum
what can i do to stop the leak... could it be some sort of seal in the heater?

i spent about an hour with the dremel opening up the lower corners to get my cd plaer to fit nicely in there, then you just need to smooth it up and put a bit of paint on it

well i should be getting a 3.08 ratio diff this week ... recently i bought a sub and seat covers
that ive put in .

soon i want to start rebuilding it slowly like respray, boot insert and change the interior but where would i start as
its my daily driver?

should i just keep the pinstripes or do the bonnet black as well?

how would i go about making the boot inserts?

here are some current pics of the car

Matey, this is an LX, and is the plenum chamber, but with the top section unpicked.
Gives you an idea of what is going on down there. Stupid bloody design not being able
to get to it eh!?

Posted Image

This is LX5008's SS, and he is using a UC donor panel in there.

I've just discovered a lot of rust on my driver's side, and will do the unpicking job,
even though it wasnt really in my initial plans. But its the ONLY way to ensure no water leakage.

Posted Image

The 'coconut hair' hides all......

If you dont want to do all that, may I suggest you remove the lot. The whole dash. Its an easy job.
You wont lose much blood, just a bit when unclipping the speedo. Oh and its great when you're all contorted
and trying not to cut yourself on razor sharp rust, and a huntsman runs out at you up your arm. Aaaaaaahhhhh!!!!!
