Cheers mate :-) it's finally looking like a decent car again.
Today, for the first time in my ownership I've actually sat in the car after refitting the drivers seat, such a satisfying feeling

Willsy do you think a hairdryer will work as good/almost as good on bringing the colour out in tired plastics? I have a door mirror needs attention too and a hairdryer is easily to hand thanks to the misses

I'd say that it'll depend on the plastic type. I did try a hair dryer previously and it didn't work, thinner plastics it may do but even with the heat gun it can take a bit more heat persistence on some items than others. Worth a go but a heat gun can be bought quite cleaply

Don't know if you have mentioned before but what heat gun do you use? I want to get the bumper back to original colour on the missus golf as it's almost white in places!

Got a few bits and bobs done today, firstly the old steering column has gone
Courtesy of Ed for this vgc replacement with new ignition barrel fitted
Tidied up the drivers front arch after that, stripped the caliper down and cleaned it up a bit and cleaned out all of the threads within the hub assembly.
Then got round to removing the old Exhaust centre section.
Whilst in the drivers arch I checked that the engine turns over ok, and it does so that's a good start and the first step to getting it running

Wasn't the most thrilling of updates picture wise but I've regained the motivation again now that the garage is in a better/tidier state. Hopefully I'll get a few more hours on it tomorrow evening.
What have you got for your Resto project Muz?

Any progress is progress man!
I got a totally standard 03 VTS, I'm going to run it until I sort out what I'm doing carwise, then I fancy lashing it in my mams garage and making it 100% minty fresh.

A few more bits & bobs completed over the last week or so.
Drivers side window has a new runner, also a new electric window mechanism & motor
Then today I've whipped off the front bumper to assess the front panels. There was a few spots here and there of surface rust as you'd expect. After winter I'll rub it down & paint it but I wanted to eliminate any hint of rust & treat it now before it gets too cold
Here's some before's just with a quick wipe down to see what's what
All in all pretty good, just one small bit that'll require a little welding.
I've then treated it. Partially reassembled with the new brackets
Payday arrives tomorrow so I can buy a new battery and the last remaining service based bits to crack on with the engine

One does not simply talk about making a minty fresh Saxo on willsys thread.
It'll still look like a shed next to the 309

Only had a quick hour in the garage today, fitted a new Valeo heater matrix
And started to refit the heater box. I can start to tame the wiring now hopefully
