Just mention this is Charlottes car before we go any further.
Basically she had saved up for the new 10plate Fiesta in frost white (on finance) however after much deliberation I convinced her to keep her current car and save the money for a deposit on a house in a few years.
So I asked "why dont you like yours? Why do you NEED a new one?!"
And the reply I got was "The steering wheel bugs me and I want a black interior..."
Old...
So after telling her how daft that sounded I gave a breakers yard a call (Transplants Auto's) and priced up the bits and bobs, for a full new interior (Black of course) and had a chat with the woman and managed to get the price down from £350 - Interior panels, £125 - Steering wheel, £100 - Seats to an amazing £175 for the lot! I got it this cheap because I said I'd take the parts out of the "doner" car myself...
Doner car... Link
So I got a van with one of my mates, picked the stuff up and its only when I got home i relised what a dig job this would be... The only things that would be left in the car was the Dashboard, Roof liner and carpet. :eek2:
So I made a start, firstly cleaning all the parts bought and making them look brand new. Before starting with the passanger seat...
Then the rear's
Then the drivers (Harder because of electrics)
Then door panels & Rear interior panels
And thats it for today, will update on sunday when im finishing it off, but until then be safe in the knowlage that im KNACKERD!!!! 7am till now and this is my first sit down all day :lol:
