Thanks guys. Pics will come on the weekend, I'm currently 4 hours away from it :( Patience old grasshoppers

These are some repro side panels (just to give you an idea on what they were like).

I did find those panels but thought they went vertical, I think I'd much rather go vertical to protect the panels like you mentioned, I'll see what itll be to fabricate something.

Just did a quick search.. GT Perf also sells the panel behind the seat. They call it a rear seat insulator panel:

Yeah that's the bit i was after, I can see the seat springs and everything, though for that price I think I might see what i can do, maybe go a bit of thin ply or something for extra insulation. I don't mind seeing the diagonal bracing, just into the seats is not good.

There are no coveres for the tail light housings or wiring looms
Do people sometimes cover this? Just thinking it would probably be good to protect the inside. I'll have more of a look this weekend to see if I'll bother doing something.

I do have a spare, with the steel disk, but it's not screwed down (it made a racket on the drive down!), should be fixable with some kind of long bolt? Just had a quick look on ebay, for that price i should be able to do something myself.

I do have the jack in the vinyl bag, haven't opened it yet though, will have a sticky on the weekend at that too.

Also about the carpet, I found this one which is much cheaper than the rubber and would also help kill some noise I'd think.
