im going to repair what i can repair bit by bit and slowy,
theres a lot wrong with it, and it was in bits when i got it, so im starting with the dashboard, that needs replacing,
once its replaced i'll also replace the now dead heater motor, so those two are kind of hand in hand,
after they are done i'll post some new pics :)
i love this car, really cheap to buy and fun to work with ! :)
its just for fun really :)
cheers

update:
in the last week or so i've fixed the electric heated seating in the front, the problem with them was the switches were clogged with dirt and so could not do anything, so i disassembled the switches completely cleaned them in warm water and a toothbrush with some mild detergent, and then dried them and blew all dirt out.
I then oiled the steel contacts within and put them back together again, they work great now
the electrical sunroof was a bit harder, i had to get at the motor which was hidden away in the boot area, very hard to get at, but i removed all bolts holding it in and manhandled a lever connected to the bottom of the motor, doing that for about 5 minutes and moving the motor around seems to have cleared whatever blockage/jam that was there, and lo and behold the sunroof opens now, once i opened it i cleaned the sliding edges and oiled them.
great stuff :)
