I'm almost there now with my restoration, So far I've reupholstered the headlining and a pillars with alcantara style trim, was a bit of a nightmare but got there in the end, I just can't get the b pillar clips in, think I'll need to remove it and see if I've broken some of the clips as it won't stay flush.

I refitted the windscreen surround trim as it was raised on one side, turns out some of the metal holding clips weren't operational so it was raised on one side as they put too much adhesive to hold it down, and there was also a missing rubber piece on the roof, so I think water may of been penetrating into the headlining, there was also a whistling noise where the wind was blowing underneath the bottom of the top of the windscreen surround trim and coming out the otherside, I refitted all flush and siliconed in black underneath and above the trim and it's stopped whistling now.

One of the mountings for the dome light was broken, so repaired that, the aftermarket stereo was crackly, pulled up the passengers carpet and was sopping wet, I dried best I could in situ and replaced the amplifier and this sorted out my audio problems, I performed the clean of the drain off area by the bonnet by removing trim/wipers etc to clean leaves, thought that was the culprit, but after leaving the car out in rain it's all wet again, on closer inspection I think my plastic trim is broken near the passenger side allowing water to pentrate, can you please confirm?

I also have a bulb out light when lights are on, checked every light and I can see that neither of the parking lights are working (front or back) I'm thinking that perhaps the previous owner disabled or removed a fuse for these as normally it's a natural instinct to turn the lights off completely too the left, not in the middle, obviously leaving parking lights on and allowing your battery to drain. Perhaps parking lights might be an american thing as I've had lots of cars and have never seen parking lights on any other car apart from this one.

Also fitted a new battery as it wasn't starting after not driving for a few weeks, starts everytime now, all in all quite satisfying to bring the car back from the dead, gave it a quick wash yesterday, still need to do some detailing but it's getting there.

After taking it out yesterday it's still quite a attention grabber even almost 20 yrs later, the de-badging by previous owner probably increases that, The reactions from some people are quite funny, they really don't have a clue what it is.

One final question, are my wheels standard? or have they been restored and treated with something as they appear different to other srt6's I've seen, and also the brake lights, they are treated with some kind of darkening spray? as there's no tint on them.

cheers
