  1. A sensible and well thought out plan of works there Si. The carpet might just be easier to bin and replace, highly unlikely to get rid of the accumulated odours tbh. The degrading foam on the headliner is a ball ache to do just by resticking. Take it out strip it down and scour off the old foam with a couple of those really coarse metal pan scrubbers will usually suffice, then make sure it’s dust free before attempting a refoam, etc. Anything else will be a bit shit.

  2. Hmm. Option 1.  MGF VVC in BRG, stripped, dipped and painted,  stainless manifold and exhaust, new belts and clutch. Reconditioned spheres, refurbed and painted alloys, updated brakes, decent rubber, black leather seats, new floppy top and glass rear screen.  Galvanised subframes and polybushed throughout.
    Forgotten what happened to my green F VVC, seem to recall that it needed a head gasket and it was lying in a mechanic shitters yard. Probably scrapped by now.

    Option 2. 
    Triumph Toledo with a Zetec engine and suitable ‘box,  leather trimmed interior.  Updated suspension, trackerjack brake upgrades, sports exhaust, new headlights with upgraded wiring and relays.  Dolphin Grey paint. Gunmetal painted MGF steelies. Black crinkle finished dash with cream faced dials. Fully polybushed.
