next thing i had to do was change the doors they all had rust in the frame and also the front drivers guard lucky enough i got my hands on a pair of brand new guards so they all got the satin black treatment for now, while they were off it gave me time to reflect on how gross the early interior is so i fitted a facelift parcel shelf with air purifier and a s3 rear seat also through out my cefiro buying i got my hands on a set of doorcards from a 93 SE-T that have the GTR material so eventually ill match the rear seat to suit them, back seat will have to come out so its just sitting in there at the moment have to run a new loom through for the air purifier, push button boot popper and the fuel fuller cable

productive day today got the boot popper installed and also the air purifier wiring done, after that i decided since i changed to the boot popper to swap the fuel filler/boot cable to suit this would be a easy thing to do if the car was stripped down or if i had the hands of an 8year old little girl but i got it in the end so another thing checked off the list, also in my hunt though my parts i found my abundance of floor mats and my factory turbo manual cluster and while i was at it i put on my facelift mudflaps since i want to keep it looking original to a point they still need a paint and also the front ones fitted but good things take time

not alot done today had to fix the previous owners mess of wiring done for the horn, he cut out all the wiring for the horn and wired it to a button because the cheap steering wheel and bosskit that was on it didnt have the metal ring to contact for the horn, so had to strip it all out and rewire in that part of the loom and instal the plunger that sits against the steering wheel to make contact so it was all fiddly work but got it done and connected up, also finally put on my indicator and window washer stalks while i was there bought them brand new from nissan a long time ago and never seen much use, also dug out my genuine nissan wheel chocks too
