Right Update, not bad. Only 3 months later.
Bought Pellowes Subaru Seats out of the Meatwagon, and thought I may aswell have the rear bench.. And the battery.
Got the Passenger side seat in, but not the drivers yet. No pictures as of yet.
Clutch didn't last too long with 2 bar boost as i'm guessing it was the original clutch as there was no paperwork for the clutch ever being changed.
Got the gearbox off, after an immense struggle with the drivers side drive shaft not coming out. Block of wood and a 10lb hammer sharp sorted that out.
release bearing was, well lets say.. not the best.
Friction plate was actually missing a spring?! And was smooth as feck.

Putting everything back together, clutch arm pin didn't want to go back in, and when it did the plastic bush that sits under the arm decided it didn't want to be a bush and made a run for it inside the gearbox.
And then the clutch cable came off the pedal inside the car, what a PITA that is.
Next was to sort out the heating in the car. Bought a new matrix regardless, will come in as a spare as it seems as I didn't need it.
Got the Dashboard ripped out, and behold there were no flap things there that directs cold air in/out, or hot air. So the one that comes from the scuttle panel is getting blocked up so there will be just hot air.. I can just open a window in the summer.
Thermostat was fubared. Wouldn't open in boiling water, so went and ordered one, turns out it was a different one so it's just been gutted out for now.
