Can do. Got most of the window trim off except the bits right in the corners of the rear windows, still working on them. Seats are on there way out, can't figure the rear seat but I'll get it.

Most of the other little things were taken off by the last guy who painted it and he already lost them(!) mirrors, decals and bonnet louvres so I don't need to worry about them.

There's a hook each side on the floor.
This is the best photo I have of the rear with no seat, so I hope it helps.
I've circled the hook. (save the photo and zoom in)
You need to push down on the top front of the seat, then push the base of the seat back towards the trunk, and it should unhook.
Do this both sides.
Can be a pain sometimes so percivere

Rich,

tlong hockey stick trims are trickey. Get all the screws out, lift the long edge and twist out away from the car VERY carefully. I'll come quite easily.

Hey! Whaddya know? I've got seatbelts!

Got the rear seat out (cheers Jules) once I knew the system they came right out.

Carpets came out and I saw my floor for the first time, also the inside of my door and the original colour of the car. This is great, I feel like I'm actually doing something after so long hamstrung by lack of finances.

Now I'm off into town to get drunk.

More updates as and when, cheers for the tips and help again guys. This is definately the only actual online community that acts like a community. Hope I can do the car justice and see you all at some meets in the summer.

Hopefully moving the car this Friday/Saturday, just waiting for Andyrob to return from his holidays and let me know. My paint guy says he is ready to go.

Also a few things arrived from ebay today. Got a great deal on a brand new set of door cards and some parking light lenses plus a bag of screws and fasteners for the interior and exterior fittings.

Watch this space

OOoooohhhhhh - New parts.

All in good time sir.

The next pictures up will be of the car at the paint and body shop. It'll be a while before I'm putting interior pics up.

I'm just grabbing stuff I need when I find them, I don't really have a plan other than acquire everything I need before I need it and then as soon as the paint is done and the engine is back in I can slap all my new bits and bobs in and then I'm not waiting for anything.

Stay tuned.

After a lot of hanging about waiting for my paint guy to have a slot, Andy came over this morning and gave the Charger a lift over to have a nip and a tuck.

Got a shopping list of stuff to pick up now as the ball is officially rolling.

Cheers Andy!
