Took most of the interior apart today to get the new carpet in, looks so much better, I couldn't stand the grey one!

Also new door cards are on too, I'll get pictures of the finished article soon.

Not so sure about your dinner time chat :lol:

But I love the carpet, the poverty grey interior is just rank!

  • Author

Oh right lol.

I have a few plans...fogs, headlights, anodized wheel bolts for the Rota's, sort out some more of the paint, maybe a sun strip lol?

And possibly put a black insert on the pillars between the doors?

Felt Spec sun strip? :o

Don't really need one now it's winter and the sun is never out anymore lol.

I'm thinking of this sort of thing for the pillars, what did you use?

Also considering having my dash flocked...just don't know how much work it would be getting it in and out lol.

Now that would be telling! :lol:

Yeeeee :thumbsup:

Yeah me too haha, I'll do it one day!

dude how did you do your rear camber shims I've just got some and dont have a clue how it works even the instructions make no sense to me

  • Author

They're simple lol, look back on my thread when I fitted them.

Take your wheel off, take the drum off, undo the 4 axle bolts to take the whole hub off, clean it, cut your shim out like it shows you on the instructions, put the shim in between the axle and hub, then bolt it all back together and bobs your uncle!

The car hasn't been starting very well over the last week and decided to not start on me in the morning before work today leaving me stuck :lol:

This is how the car is currently looking, don't think I have put any proper pictures of it in winter mode yet lol.
