No!
Headlining needs doing. It currently has red carpet on the 2 main panels and probably original, mould stained tatty material on the rest.
Maybe some leather recolouring.
Door seals and that sort of stuff.

Well it seems size does matter 
Finally had chance to investigate over heating, and as suspected the rad was the issue. Only the top half was getting hot.
So removed it, which was pretty easy as it literally fell apart
Then went to fit the rad from my SE that was just lying in the garage and this is where size matters. It wouldn’t fit even though only 5mm wider than the one that came out !
So now need to sort getting a new one or this one recored and put back together. Really want to get it on the road ASAP to give it a shake down to see if will be reliable enough for LitP.
