Gees - Agreed :)

It had no carpet or rear seatbelts so bought both from Cam Suzuki. Carpet were filthy so gave it a scrub and it came up mint.

Cleaned the floor pan too as it was disgusting! 3/4 the way through cleaning:

Wheels had been previously painted black but they'd gone blue'ish so gave them a few coats of satin black and threw some long black wheel nuts on:

Just a quick word of advice Countryboy before you fit your carpets. My floor started off looking like yours with scabs here and there (infact they were roughly where yours were!) When I ground them out they turned into gaping holes which would have got worse if I hadnt sorted them. The ones around the rear seatbelt mounts turn into MOT failures if your not careful.

Mind you awful job to weld cos really you need to remove the fuel tank for safety first :(
