Default Red BT EsCos Tidy Up - Almost done...

What started out as a "let's replace the C-pillar"-plan ended up in a "why don't we just remove as much as we can"-day

Things to do:
- redo the rooflining
- replace the C-pillar
- replace left rear interior panel
- new gear gaitor
- sort out the wiring
- general clean up

List is not that bad considering the car's almost 16 years old



















After this is all finished: exterior and engine

Upski



Getting rid of the big mirrors...


... to trial fit the others


But still... decided to keep the big ones

Cleaned it up a bit. Not TOO clean as I really don't want it to become a second garage queen

Picked up the resprayed parts on tuesday

Almost there now







Still need to fix the rear bumper properly and get all the cables through the bootlit.
I'm a "BIT" worried about that last part to be honest

car looks really nice! love the color also.

The cables through the bootlit was a bit of work on my car. First i got a iron wire through the bootlit. then connect the cables to it and tape them off, so you don't scratch the insides or anything else and losen up the bolts of the airsuspension that holds your boothlit open, else the will be in the way for the cables and connectors.

Good luck!

100% finished now

It's nothing really exceptional compared to some of the projects in here, but at least we've got a decent car to start with now

Last thing left to do is to put the steering wheel on the correct side
