It sounds like a luck escape JR, that body deadener can burn really quickly. A good tip on the fire extinquisher in the garage too, I reckon one in the car is also cheap insurance!

It sounds like you are on the home stretch now, keep those pics coming

Igor, hit the swich, IT IS ALIVE!!!!!

The 60 up Essex has just barked into life for the first time since 1996. Yes folks the RS officially has a heartbeat

A very special moment. Congratulations.[^][^]

well done i bet it sounded sweet

Woohoo!!!! (as they say in the classics).

Nice work JR.

Congrats on the first startup. Exciting times!

Was it with the triples fitted or are they a project for later?

New headlining fitted today. Got most of the easy little bits like grab handles etc in. I spent most of today removing the heater and wiper motor - swine of a job - as they were melted by the little fire. I'll refit the donor ones in the morning and hopefully finish the interior. Then its glass, then sorting out. I hope to have a fully assembled RS by the end of the week!! I'll update photos in the morning

Local guy, good job, he had a MK1 Granda coupe when I went there !! I see Aldrige in the UK have ready nade perforated headliners

I got about 50% of my interior in today, man those twin bucket back seats are cumfy!!

New pics added I hav 4 days off work last week, I got a bit done...
