[t5 pete]

Only had a bit of time today so managed to fit door car inserts, change coolant, wire in gauges, fit gutter guards new head light wipers, fit passage seat, fit new gear gator and knob all rest of trim inside the car fitted and done just need a few clips but that's about it.
The interior is filthy so I do apologise about the mucky seats they will be cleaned dyed and leather treated also the new steering wheel wont be getting fitted until its been back at the spray shop as there's not chance im letting the get their grubby hands on it.

Wow, only just read this thread. Fantastic work. Only thing I'd change would be take out the dash gauges and head unit. Your workmanship is first rate. Wish I had your skills.

Hey mike cheers bud and yes I've been waiting for some one to comment but as this car will not be standard power wise and there for the need of gauges to monitor what's going off for tuning purposes etc with that in mind as you can see every thing is reversible I didn't want to cut out for gauges or add pods and this was the most suitable way of doing it I have been thinking of looking for a suitable electric lcd panel thingy unit like bomb was making which displays boost afr etc and then I can put the original stereo back in but with £300 aem gauges that I had spare it would be rude not to just use these.

get some trade plates on or pop her on a trailer and get her to cosford mate, as the Gul's could rule the day, as I'm now free to go for the afternoon, it could be a banana fest...

[Biff]

Can't believe your progress mate!
Really cannot wait to see this car & meet the man who had the balls to take it on as a project.
I'm loving the fact you've modified it tastefully.
Standard cars are boring!!

Banana fest, PMSL.

[t5 pete]

Had a little time today to give her a freshen up even had a go at that new fandangled two bucket method

[foammanmark]

Pete, you should be a very, very proud man with what you have achieved. That is awesome which is an understatement.

[claymore]

Stunning Pete, words fail me.

[Nealevo]

Looking mighty fine mate. Good luck for Monday, maybe move the R badge up 1 on the grill.

[Jamest5r]

Quality mate
