The previous owner had the outriggers done in 2012, the invoice states body off, which must have been at least a partial lift; cut away outriggers and 'other areas', weld in fresh and refit. Hopefully the seat belt bolts came out then and new ones went in. Fingers crossed. She goes up tomorrow.
They have to cone out for a full body off. Bon chance.

I obviously got lucky and my seat belt bolts all came out ok although they were probably the originals, I had been putting on penetrating oil for a week before though.
I also fitted the TVRMads dash set, very nice apart from my heater control lights didn't fit and I needed to file out the cutouts slightly.

The old ones were cleaned and put back in. Oh well. A few more days of plus gas snd we'll see.

What's the score with the shoulder bolts, mine seemto be embedded in some sort of plastic casing.

What do you mean by the shoulder bolts?, which ones are they?

The ones holding the shoulder bracket on

Another issue, struggling to separate the seat base/back. I think I've identified the 4 allen bolts I need to get at but they're very stiff and the top ones are under the fabric...

ETA belt bolts all moving without too much grief, except the inner front ones. Main issue is not being able to get a spanner on because they're slightly recessed into the carpet.

Right they're all out no issues, dash in bits, clocks out, door cards next then I can clean at all up and start the refit. New carpets from D&C trim, carbon fibre dash, recoloured leather.

Next question: What are the names of the various blue options for the leather, as I need to order a colour kit. Most of it is staying Portland Grey but I want the gaiters etc, door pockets, top of the door trims dark blue. But what is it called?
