Restoration help & advice please!!

Right really I'll be honest with you; I have no idea where to start; Firstly is it possible to fit power steering to a clipper cabrio? Secondly is there somewhere in Berkshire that can advise me on ripping out and re-doing the interior. Thirdly, does anyone know where there's a big pot of money to help me on my quest?! But seriously any info on doing her up, would be really appreciated.   :banghead:

Yes, power steering can be fitted.

Check out the regional Berkshire meet section on left hand menu - good group with regular meets and plenty of people to advise you!

Cheers and good luck

The interior is pretty easy to remove - basically undo the bolts at the front of the central seat runners, slide the seat all the way back and remove.

I'm not sure your rear seats are the same as the tintop, but if they are, fold them down and remove 2 circlip type things, and they come straight out.

Then remove the sill trims, then pull the carpets up. That's pretty much it!

Here's some pics of mine when I did the same last year.

Buying a second hand one isn't particularly expensive either. A retrim in brand new material will be more. Try Crazyquiff on here so see what he's got in the way of some spares - he's also from Berkshire and will be at this months meet, which you'd be very welcome to come along to.
