A bit more progress on this, including liberating the dash.
Genuine heated screen, which these days is worth more than the rest of the car!
Botang's hole which caused much of the sadness in the cabin. Since the dash is out its trivial to pull the electronics box and fix this now for the next owner
Along with loads of general crud in the raintray
and in the electronics box, which someone had attacked with silicone, trying to fix the leak in completely the wrong place
Tape removed
3D printed grommet fitted, which ought to seal the hole on its own
Coated in seam sealer to be sure
The previous perpetrator had snapped the stud holding the front of the electronics box so I might as well fix it while its out
Grind off the stump and drill a hole
Rivnut
The fuses are badly corroded from moisture so these were replaced
Verdigris on the fuse holder terminals. All these were thoroughly cleaned with contact cleaner, as were all the electronics box connectors
Ship shape again
The rear bracket for the header tank is broken off. I've never seen this before but I assume it is from some gorilla leaning on the rusted screw trying to get it out. This is a future-owner problem.
