new gaiter courtesy of Vaughan, cheers mate v much appreciated. Trimmed the bottom lip off it as it looked a bit wierd - obviously thats meant to sit under the consol

view from the front of the car looking back (how dusty is that bench??) - ive put a corsa c door moulding on the front of the frame to finish it off - looks better than painted wood

Really nice looking car mate, glad I could help you complete another 1% of the interior

yeah hopefullybe out in the summer, do some meets/shows etc.

good to meet you too (briefly lol ) and thanks again for the gaiter - top man!

Not a problem fella, glad I could help! :)

not much happening lately - been away on holiday, and now wedding plans are taking up a lot of my time, never mind money!!

today job was to get the lights, grill, bonnet pin stalks, bonnet catch spring and the two vin type plates off the slam panel and get it painted - it was looking awful scabby.

http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/a...B/P1060690.jpg

http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/a...B/P1060705.jpg

made a carbon plate to replace the non-vin one, letraset is still to arrive, and fixed them down with some more annodised bolts

http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/a...B/P1060691.jpg

ordered yet more anndised fixings for the lights and bonnet pins.

next job is to give the light recesses a coat of hammerite and fit new headlight clips.

Loving the little bolts on the plates and the boot floor. The plate on the right (silver/black) is the important one really isn't it as it shows chassis no.?

yeah mate, thats the vin plate - cant mess with that at all. the other one isnt really that important, tons of people make chrome / carbon ones.

Looking really good mate :D

Will be a head-turner once its done! Can't wait to see it at some shows/meets :thumb:
