   Hello i have been working out my finances for January And my plan is to make a start on the interior first:
   
   Removing Rear Seats And Replacing Them With MDF board, Carpeting the boards (this will take the shape of the seats except they wont be useable)
   
   Hard to describe but will upload pics later
   
   Installing A Saxo Show Cage
   
   Installing Sports Seats
   
   Installing A Harness
   
   Changing Door Cards
   
   Replacing Gear Stick
   
   Replacing Hand Brake Cover's
   
   Sound Proofint The Doors, Boot Lid And Boot Surround
   
   Replacing Stearing Wheel
   
   Replacing (Adding) New Pedals
   
   Does this plan sound ok or is it over the top?
   
   Cheers
   Adam

   No point sound proofing if your not having ICE in there?Unless that is a later plan

   Just what I was thinking! There is also the boarding out of the back, not necessary unless the ICE goes in or you just want it to look tidy!

   There will be an ice install but its going to take time for me to build it to the way i want it, I dont want fibreglass here there and everywhere so im going to try and blend it in to its current surroundings so it doesnt stick out like a sore thumb or take all the room up, i will only be having fron comps sub and amp thats it,

   Yup its true and if you strip the interior of the rear seats etc you have any more it will sound horrible

    Sounds good, not a ice person myself so Id rather simpley strip all the rear interior out, but sayin that Ive had to many bad experiences in cars over the years so I dont leave home with out bottles of water, oil, full tool kit, trolly jack and half dozon rags (if you want to be with anyone when you break down its me) so I would never be able to strip out my sax.
    
    Go for it, if you planin to do most of what you have mentioned the MaxPower Haynes manual covers all of the above and fairly clearly shows you how too. Worth £15 if you a 'have a go hero' :-) good luck
