a wee update of i've done so far ,in all honesty i could have had the car finished a lot earlier but ,work,family commitments and the lack of the green stuff has kind of stalled it a bit,but getting there

First pic was going to use custom door cards but made a pigs ear of refurbing the rear door cards (sorry Ordav) it can be sorted just cannt be bothered the now but the door cards i had were in really good nick so not sure what to do now

[wetandwindy2]

this one shows engine bay all done bar waiting on altenator,starter anda new battery then its of we go (hopefully) will fit bulkhead pad last in case i break it

[wetandwindy2]

got most of the interior in pics donnt do it justice really as the back seat is mint ,cleaned and repainted the rear shelf and rear door cards got the carpets profi cleaned and they came out really new front seats are/were mint but the previous owner mislaid the material of one of the seats after a minor repair so will need to retrim both seats

[wetandwindy2]

boot is complete bar a jack and the bag that goes with it ,i got a capri jack it looks the same as an escort one but it wonnt fit in the jacking point again the pics donnt do it justice as the carpet came out really clen after the wash

[wetandwindy2]

not alot left to do need a set of tyres ,retrim the front seats thinking about giving the exterior a coat of fresh paint as theres to many wee chips in the paint and my mate got enough 2k diamond white been humming and hawing for a while now about the paint and i know after putting all the time, effort and money into her i'd only be annoyed with the end result
