Have you got an interior lined up? I might be able to lay my hands on one, the chap I sold mine to about 8 years ago still has it in his garage! As far as I remember the front seats and door cards were in decent nick, but there is no rear foam, only the fabric which was a little faded. I could find out if you're interested?
And I think Jezza-7 would be very interested in the steel wheels should you want to part with them ;)

Post by: Puncharado on May 11, 2010, 05:45:41 pm: Well, my old seats are in South Wales so that's no good for you to pick up either!

Post by: Aj1981 on May 11, 2010, 08:49:33 pm: Thats ok mate im now picking up a full set up in unmarked condition for £45 tomoro. I kind of need the wheels till i find a nice wide set, the tyres on mine are brand new but they just dont grip enough at the front, on damp roads she spins in 1st 2nd and 3rd befor i reach full gas, i cant drive round every where with a spare change of pants in the boot.
