well the axle swap went fairly well not to many grazes or snapped bolts just got to connect the handbrake cables, fill the diff and connect the brake pipes to the rear and bleed the brakes /set them up

oh and replace the anti roll bar drop links as they were seized

the car should be running again by tonite :clap:

pretty much the car was a shed when i bought it with front seats in brown and rear in grey and brown carpets :?

going to get some car carpet from ebay the gel back type in black for the floor of the car then fit the new seats and source some grey/ black door cards {i have some but they are a bit rough}

the roof lining im going to have a go at making in plastic {the stuff for sale signboards are made of ive been told is good } then cover it in some black speaker cloth

it should all in all look clean and tidy and fairly origanal if not a bit new

the seats do look good though, miles better than mine

So THAT is how to get the ladies :lol:

i still shiver at the thought of headliners right now, just in the process of screwing the trim around mine, good luck with urs! corregated plastic sounds like a good idea, feel sorrty for any neighbours that are selling their houses nearby ;)

I bought some of this vinyl, will cost just a touch over speaker fabric but will look a lot more factory i think. they do different grains too and delivery is hella fast: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... _500wt_915

Look forward to seeing how it turns out!
