Love the steering wheel. Will the flock not wear off tho?

Are the CF bits remade or wrapped?

wrapped benn, but v good

most probabaly will wear off or get grubby but

1)can be redone

2)worth a try

im having the centre console in blue also

Ah cool, all good.

ill get updates of inside pics rather shortly and the front ends all built up shes actually looking pretty good

Is this running with tax and test yet though :p

had a bit of a play today, whilst the sun was out.....................will upload a few pictures

last month i manage to build up my rear disc beam axle with all the new parts ive had for hhmmmmmmmm 6 years minimum, but its going on the car to be tested regards the rears locking up, maybe for re sale

http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/j...3-27163430.jpg

axle was shot blasted and painted along with the calipers, pads are mintex and discs are brembo

fitted the new air filter and pipe

Oh ok Dave cheers

Hey guys.....small update

Ive given myself a deadline to finish the car by end of 2014 or im breaking it

The cara been on a go slow since the last mad progeess in 09 due to me gettin a house and full renovation. ...but all the car and l all the bits are at my new house...car is being taken to the garage to get a few mechanic jobs and MOT...such as new timing belt. .the 3rd since 2004 lmao, new oil n filter....proper coolant and a flush....CV Boots changed as the new ones on have now perished....d shafts will be shortened to allow speedline c caps to fit

Then ill be puttin the trim in....that easier said than done aa its thicker than oem....may have a re think. ..flock..or CF paneling

Graeme ive sent those speaker pods you sold me to be CF skimmed as I want some door speaker s

Ive also sent Don my spare mirrors to trim the black in CF...also a factory rear wiper arm

Im also toying with the idea of CF triming the rear window surrounds ro blens with the rest so to speak


I willl hopefully insure the car april to sept only then she will live in mmuy nice dry heated garage

Finally I treated her to a sspare set of speedlines and softstars which will most likely be done in gunmetal grey

Then she will be detailed and g technic C1 coated

I cant wait..

Snow foamed...washed and Hydro2 sealed ready foe transportation to its new home
