Head lining is very very sexy. The Omega elec sunroof fits much better to the Nova headlining. I have one in mine.

Looking smart dude, nuff said lol

update

today i had a great day working on the car, got pretty much all i wanted to done. its coming along great at the moment.

to start off i got the rear glass and surrounds in. as usual i used the strip method and some small angled prickers to peel up what the string didnt.

after that i coupled up the brake pressure bleeder i borrowed from work.

had 2 leaking brake nuts, just needed another nip up and they held pressure. bled all four corners and left the pressure bleeder connected for 2 hours. fortunately the compressor inside it never came on once which indicated i had no leaks. result. have got quite a decent pedal now.

held pressure\/\/

once i was happy with the brakes i slipped the cage in, fastened it down with stainless cap head bolts.

update

been on a few things this week, got the carpets cleaner than what they were. fitted them and trimmed them up so they fit around the roll cage weld in plates. got both door seals on but im yet to clean them. can see ill have to remove them to clean them but will see how it goes.

the rear brace was finally tightened down with stainless cap head bolts. the nuts the other side do miss the coilovers, thank god.

had a brand new screen and seal fitted today, think it was well worth it as the screen is gleaming clean.

the only plastic primer they had in halfords was red, owell had to use it.

i then gave it a couple coats of satin black (as advised by nova_tek) and left it to dry. came back in the morning to find some parts had a reaction, havnt a clue why. so i rubbed down those areas and primed them again.
