Loving the head lining mate! Looks very well made/fitted. I'd get some waxoil up in your sun roof hole tho mate.

Good luck!

Yea thats what i did, you can get the waxoil/dinitrol wand in there which will help it last longer. Might be worth removing the headlining to do it? just in case. Be a real shame to get a nasty scab on the roof next year after all your hard work

Default Update 1 of 2 19/1/12

its been a while since i posted an update. been plodding along with the build. first little update is the interior, got the dash bevel fitted, was going to fit one with a gauge installed but went for the standard option and fitted this mint one with coin tray. i also fitted my alarm led into it too. i m happy with how it looks. just need a good clean when its all finished.







Also picked up a brand new set of outer door weather strips this week, my local ford dealer had some in stock which i was amazed about! get these fitted shortly!

Did your wings line up ok when you put them on mate because the bonnet doesnt look like it will shut aswell. have you not got your old lights to try in to see if they fit better to see if it is the lights at fault.
not trying to be funny or anything just trying to help

the wings line up fine, the bonnet is just resting on the latch atm so it looks out of line. i thought the same when i looked at the pics. i do have the old ones yes. il have to put them in and see how they fit. all good chap
