Yes, you should, but remember pictures!

These have now all learnt their positions on the car and are reporting back.
For the first time in ages, I don't have that annoying "bong" as the computer reports a fault with one or more sensors and the irritating light on the dash that accompanies it!
They did take a while to learn, probably around 20 miles but so far so good.
Glad you got to the bottom of it, and that light has gone.

Shame, would be nice to sort that this weekend.
What postal service did you use? FedEx, UPS or DHL usually gives me a call or an email when customs is due, often gets paid before it's landed in the UK to save any delays.

Didn't have any choice with this supplier. They used USPS stateside so that comes in as ParcelFarce in the UK.
They will sit on it while picking the towel fluff it of their bum before eventually sending a letter by snail mail informing of the duties to be paid.
Then it will likely get flung into the back of a van and driven from Coventry to Wiltshire by way of Aberdeen and a brief vacation on Stornoway before arriving bent out of shape and completely useless for its purpose.
Oh, I don't like ParcelFarce, can you tell they screwed us around before?

Washed it, polished it, detailed it.
Not finished due to incoming rain.
Also, discovered this: http://www.solent-renegades.co.uk/s...pring-festival-2017-may-29th-4.html#post71293
The polish has hidden it somewhat, but still visible.

I was expecting to find something nasty but in truth it was better than I hoped and everywhere is pretty clean other than the drivers side where you can see someone has put on some rust protection over where there must have been rust (Due to a roof seal leak I believe by the state of the headlining) and to make perfect I would replace the floorpan there but for now I am happy to live with.
Most of the interior I have managed to swap with a 3rd gen parts guy who was parting out a 1991 car and missing bits plus everything else I have shipped in from the US bit by bit or picked up when I have been there.
I have already fitted front ant rear carpet, half the plastics and the 4th gen rear seats and seatbelts (quick garage pic below). Front seats are with a trimmer in Southampton who is replacing the worn leather sides to make them like new.
I will have a go at a full thread then to show all the updates and progress, cheers
Great progress, always great reading this write-ups, thanks for sharing.
