This is as far as I've got today. All wiring from the dash back is now out, all deadening now gone and made a good start on removing most of the excess seam sealer.
Almost ready to start scotching up for paint, I'll get most of that done before the cage goes in because it's easier. Then it will all be prepped again once the tube work is in.
Yes I'm in the boot scraping sealer lol.

Coming a long a treat - I found the sound proofing came off easier when cold as it chipped straight off - I do like that splitter idea; the prodrive bumper does need something

Following this up, I've carried on and done some more.
Complete AC system out.
With that in mind I got the trusty bathroom scales out.
Complete AC system was 13.2kg
Space saver & jack 20.1kg
Approx 15kg in misc parts (couldn't get them all on the scales)
11kg sound deadening.
So there a good 60kg before looking at bumper beams and the U brace is still on the car.
I'm yet to start on the doors too. It sounds daft but it's noticeably easier to push by hand.
I've also got a steel alternator bracket on the way so I'll dump the big chunk of ally too.

The bracket was too narrow for the alternator to fit in - the bolt spacings for the block were fine though. I did try and fettle it but it was just too tight in the end...
