Loving the car mate, what you've done so far is just brilliant. Shame about all the damage caused by idiot drivers, one of the pains of owning such a lovely car, keep at it though, will definatly be keeping an eye on this to see what else happens. :)

Dude, you should definitely put a full interior in and do some crazy trimming, would make this car. I like the wheels, slightly space the rears tho :)

Yea a few people have said that. Dont worry tho, wait until my new seats arrive, see what you say then ;)

Little update just so the progress on the thread doesnt stop completelly :p

As said before, my new seats have been ordered.. Debating to reveal what I've bought now or when they actually arrive.. hmm.. Debate needed ;)

The roof was ridiculously swirly, so i decided to get to work at removing them seeming as the roof has had a few weeks for the paint to fully cure. All done by hand, no machines - Took forever!:( Even though its not perfect, its a vast improvement! Cant really see it in the picture but trust me, its looking pretty now!

After > Before

2 coats of DODO Juice's 'Purple Haze' - applied by bare fingertips..

Finished reflection :D

Had a delivery in prep for my new seats too.. Some new Frames. The ones i have at the moment look a bit tacky. These look far better!

Just another quick update to keep the tread alive!

Bonnet was re-done and is looking shiney shiney again..

Went to japfest with a few mates on the weekend, if anyone from here went and saw my car in the grassy car park say hello! haha Got some new inspirations for the inside of the car aswell.. Just a shame i cant afford anything at the mo! FLAT broke :(

A few pics of the car at japfest taken from another Forum..

Was going to keep it a secret, but ill let the cat out of the bag.. These are what I'm waiting for.. Expected delivery on the 26th June..

One Bride Gardis for the drivers

One Bride Zeta for the passenger..

Few small tiny touches left to do on the outside until its exactly how i want it, then i can focus entirely on the inside and possible even look into things under the bonnet? Maybe..

Updates as they come..

Got this looking very very nice mate, love the colour, those brides will have it looking sweet!

BASTARD!

maybe just maybe the red wheels will work with it now Aaron . new seats look sweet as bud as does the paint work . keep up the good work mate . Dave

Well put it this way, looks like I have to change my plans in seat options :(

Not a fan of the seats personally but theyll suit your theme nicely

Ah all good mate! No harm in having similar things! It was going to be Integra Type R Recaro's if i didnt get these

Yea a few people have said the same mate :) I've always loved the 'odd' seats where the drivers bigger than the passenger too so its personal taste along with the perfect theme :D

How much did they set you back? You going to run takata harnesses too?...

Just out of interest by 2 different seats ???

Do you meen why?

Because I've always loved the bigger bucket seats, but I've also always loved the look of JUST the drivers seat being bigger..

Its kinda a part of the JDM theme too.. look at most JDM track/drift cars.. Its all about the driver.. Usually you'd see a bride and a standard factory seat...

Bride and takata, doesn't get much better
