AB 0 Posted January 12, 2007 hi again just a little update. the car is now ready for it engine bay smoothing, scuttle removal and paint on friday, all the loom is now in side the cabin as one pic shows the dash out and the other is with all the engine loom in as well. the other parts are my interior panels that slowly me, my girlfriend and mate (msh) are covering in suede which should go nicely with the leather. hopefully next week should have a pic of my smoothed rocker cover and some engine parts that i have had polished and then get some pics up when the engine bay is done.
