Any one have spare foam for drivers seat they can bring?

EDIT: This is going to feel wierd, I am used to working on my FTO alone

Day one down, jobs completed.........
1- Replace the heater core -

I now have a working heater in my FTO for the first time - Man what a big job, rip interior apart, release aircon gas, fit heater hoses, took me about 5-6 hours
2- Replace the wiper/blinker switches - My blinker switch is now like new - No longer do I have to put up with a floppy blinker switch.
3- Install dimmer switch - Now I can dim my dash lights - Easy job
4- Replace mirror switch panel - I don't have to look at a broken panel any longer - Easy job

EDIT: Look at pic#4, I have steering fluid leaking from the top of the steering rack into the cabin
