Well I spotted this L reg 16v.... I thought.... It'd be rude not to fully late spec up this Dyson! So I thought i'd start fro the inside out...

 

The valver...

So out with the Early Spec Grey interior...

I was left with this....

Then I noticed that the spoiler wasn't looking right on the new shell or the central locking thing in the boot or just ANYTHING in the smallest cavern imaginable!

 

So after i got the rear carpet door cards front seatbelts out I started on that and lost the will to take any more pics!

 

It was a NIGHTMARE! I ended up stripping out the full motor from the late spec interior donor car and going mad!

Took bloody hours and i'm still pissed off! lol.

 

Lucily for you my mate got handy with my camera till I lost my cool and took it out on him because he was using my camera... lol

Then as Corrado's do! The weather turned....

 

So now my dining room looks like this

Words can't describe! It's like being a kid again and just going at it with a bit of commen sence and the desire to figure out how it all goes together!

 

But i've got the security blanket of two other ones to get it right with/rob the parts off...

Not like the time I took my Alba sterio to bits. :lol:

It's only when you put them back together from nothing that you realise how well made these bad boys are!!

 

I know it's defeating the object putting it all in only to take it out when i find the leather i'm after.... But for now sod it! I'd rather know it's all there! :lol:
