Another update:
This ones been stretched over the last 3 weekends....
Pop out a seat, remove the runners, remove the base and loosen off these tabs
and it untucks like this:
start to do battle with hogrings....
and you get this:
cut a little foam out for a temp sensor
before moving to the back squab; unzip from the bottom, remove more bloody hogrings....
peel up cover... more bloody hogrings...
realize you completely forgot to take important pictures of the sole reason for doing ALL of this....
Anyway... add heated seat pad, fasten up hogrings and reassemble.
drill out and fit switches....
and finally, wire up!
Result? toasty bottoms and back on demand.
For anyone attempting it, let me give one tip - Buy some hogring pliers..... (I didn't, which is why it took 3 weeks!)

Now that's pretty spiffy mr Jiffy! I like a lot.
Does that heater kit come with its own relay etc?
Yup - the whole she-bang - one relay per seat, all pre-wired. 1 positive, 1 earth and 1 ignition feed to plumb in.
From zero to toasty in about 2 mins.
It was this kit but with separate switches. May do with same thing with the sparco's in the Mk1!

Exactly my thoughts young Jiff. That really is well thought out matey, good work.

Few more bits ticked off the "to do" list this weekend.As regular readers of this forum with no doubt be aware, i'm not a fan of bodykits, which is what possibly makes this round of mods quite a shocker!
Her rear used to look like this:
So, i much prefer the facelift rear bumper, but thats not available in my green; We're also not the biggest fans of the nappy (the rear undertray). I've still got it on the list of jobs to take off, and drill out all the various butchered screws that prevent from sitting properly, but for now....
A little bit of this:
and this:
leads to this:
and smallest subtlest spoiler I could find...
and facelift rear side vents for good measure:
