This is great! Plus, with it being already finished when you put the thread up, I get an "instant fix" of the results of all your hard work! Love the choice of seats, and the body colour works really well too. Excellent quality build.

It's a nifty idea (even if I do say so myself) as you can put the armrest up and hide them from prying eyes when you leave the car parked.

Absolute superb i used to have a Chevette a long time ago , my dad bought me a cheap one as a second car to use it failed an mot a few years later as it needed sills replacing and my dad would not pay the 200 pound i could have had them replaced for, annoyed me as it would have been done properly .

Sun has been out today, so took a couple of snaps outside.... It's covered in dust, but still looks pretty cool 8) Still waiting for the door cards back from the trimmers though Here you can see the ARB fitted, which has been spaced down with ally spacers to clear the sump/oil filter. It's been fitted upside down which gives a better angle where the bar meets the drop-link bushes in this new position. Here is the dash, you can see the aux guages I was on about. Manta guages, mounted in the old speaker position. Covering panel is ally, with bevelled cutouts machined out for the guages, then painted satin black, and the lettering engraved through to the ally. rev counter is Manta, mounted in original instrument pod. Nice period Wheel fitted, and retro looking Pioneer CD tuner fronts the new audio system.
