Yea bit a bit of a crap morning.
Glue did not turn up yesterday for the roof liner so that had to stay at home. Fitted everything, then realised I had black seat belt covers after fitting the original cream ones. Removed the cream ones on the passenger side fine, but the drivers side one broke. So need to go to the scrap yard and grab a new runner/ plastic bit inside the runner.
Next up the engine bay cleaning and painting. Might just do a load of random colours.

I already have four gauges, one in a vent, three in an a pillar mount.
But I have just one a double centre vent. So just need to find a place to put the last one.
I have owned my 5 door for 6 years, and I think this will be around for a while.

So I got my flocked parts back.
Will most likely get the fasica and vents done in blue to match the carpet.
I managed to get a hold of a double gauge centre vent, so I wont be using my A pillar gauge holder in the new car.
Will get a double guage for water and oil temp, then just use a boost gauge and oil pressure gauge.

Look forward to seeing it all fitted mate.
Flocking a dash or dash-section gives a really odd effect at night, since nothing reflects on it. You'll find the car feels really dark now, in a good way of course. The lights on the dash are that much more defined and look like they're 'floating' in the dash, since they're not casting light.
I sound like a nutter, but trust me lol.
Disclaimer: The above is not to be taken to heart and is probably a joke, grow up you big girl.

Looking good mark, pretty epic project tbh!
Oh, and dibs on your wind deflectors when you decide to sell. Need some non-broken ones.

This looks better, get some protection on there then put the window back in.

Getting there, now there will be a delay as my engine is having head issues. So would like to get uprated head stud and forged internals, with a 4 paddle clutch and better turbo, either E300 or RS turbo.

I bought suedette from my local material shop though can get it online.
My turbo is good cars pretty quick but I though with a gt series it will be better.
