Lovely job Nick, It might be the nicest detachable ever fitted to a mog.

Thanks everyone for your kind comments, yesterday night I refitted the a-pillar end cap seals (put new ones on) and polished/refitted the windscreen inner a-frame. I also polished up the bolts that hold it, it was suprised how much muck came out of them when I used a cotton wool bud on the centres!  Before: ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/JiWhzMJ.jpg) After: ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/vxwKgB1.jpg) A frame and seals in place ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/1qwE5eP.jpg) Just need to decide on the interior colour now (still having nightmares on this one) and then on Monday the trimming for the roof starts. Luckily I have a bit more time to finalise the design for the seats, so it is just the colour to choose for now so the roof actually matches!!

That interior leather looks great to me, may I ask why you are changing?

That interior leather looks great to me, may I ask why you are changing? Sadly looks can be deceiving! It is quite tired in places and has been water damaged in areas as well, mainly around the doorcards and sills. However this could have been fixed but for the mess the supplying dealer made of the drivers area, it had some wear which I asked them to rectify when I purchased it 4/5years ago... They did this and it looked great for about a week, until it cracked and looked terrible, upon taking it to an expert he said they had used the wrong paint and in essense the whole drivers seat, sill, and most of the surrounding leather (which they covered in overspray and primer) was ruined and had to be replaced.  Unfortunately the leather cannot be matched due to changes in leather the suppliers use, so it has made more sense to start fresh.

Nick, if you get the chance, could you take some pictures of the rear parcel shelf area and the adjoining side panels of the interior where the hood has been removed.
I'm really curious to see what it looks like back there without all the hood paraphanalia in situ.....

James James, I will see what I can do when the roof is off, currently you can't see much with it on. Nick do you happen to know how the sill leather comes off? Lee, It is a panel that is clipped in via christmas tree type fixings - it "should" pull off with pursuasion and perhaps a trim tool provided no one has been there before broken something and glued it back in situ..

Small update, removed the old glue from the windscreen trims and polished them up before the new screen is fitted.
