Default Update time

Well for those who are interested heres a little update!!!

Been ages since ive even looked at my own resto thread!!!!!

I never even bother putting up some finished pics!!!

So heres a couple of pics a m8 took for me







As you can see the majour thing thats changed is the wheels, im still not sure about the wheels but they are here to stay so i will just have to get used to them







couple of under bonnet shots, (still looks cleanish not bad considering ive done over 4000 miles since the resto)

And now for todays mods

First off the front half of the cage has come out



Few trim panels



Few more





Next the carbon door cards





Then the bottom half of the dash





Followed by the top half







And finally the steering wheel





Job done!!!!

Im now left with trying to remember where all this lot goes



Thats it for today more to come tomorrow

cheers jay
