well it's official, i'm a muppet!!! ?
Did some more on the interior today, got the centre console in and couldn't find the handbrake switch that sits on the handbrake assembly.
Figuring that I could come back to that I ploughed on with the seats and the seatbelts, just want it all back in one piece now as ive had interior parts floating round the house for ages now!!
Drivers seat, no problems, same with the seat belt.
Passenger seat, two bolts missing and a bolt missing for the seat belt lower mount.?
So an hour later, after looking through all the boxes of fixings and toolboxes as well as under the front false floors. I came to the conclusion that the bolts must be under the rear carpet!!
So out it all came again, both front seats, rear seats, centre console and all the threshold trims, another hour later I found all the bolts I was looking for, where I thought they were going to be, I was cussing myself!!
the upshot of this is I have also found the handbrake switch, so every cloud has a silver lining.
Another hour later and its all back together, finally looks like a complete car, the most complete it has been since I bought it.
Also took the time to actually run it up to temperature as well, the idle occasionally dies down to about 650 rpm for a few mins and then pics back up to 750rpm but aside from that the engine seems sweet enough.
Next few jobs are front suspension/steering related, I have two coil springs to be replaced and also have an issue with the steering rack as well
