Interior Refit

A full eight hour day working on the Alpine - cleaning the interior (twice) in the morning and fitting the carpets and door cards in the afternoon. I did fix the door mechanism and noticed they had broken the door catch and not fitted the lock mechanism correctly either. I put the heat shield/sound deadening on the gear box tunnel at the end of the morning though.

Then in the afternoon I replaced the interior carpets and door cards. Finishing off with the cubby on the transmission tunnel. All that took several hours too but the loft is looking a bit emptier.

I keep finding things I'm not happy with though and that they did not do correctly, but I guess that's what you get with people that don't know Alpines - or even Rootes cars - do the work. I keep finding things that I should have replaced/repaired years ago so I have a lot of learning to get it correct I thought.

At the end of the day I went to fill her up with petrol - it made some odd noises on the run and I'm sure something fell out of the dash onto the floor but we'll investigate that. She looked good though.

Also the indicators were intermittent - and the solenoid was red hot when I went to make sure it was in ok - odd.
