well as most of you know im giving my car a facelift as ive had it stripped out since i got it and ive decided i would like it to be more comfortable. either that or start looking for a new car which i dont really wanna do.
so the interior of my car is going to change
from this
then i swapped my seats with my brother because he has a redline photoshoot tomorrow
and then to my new seats which i am getting fitted on saturday
i am planning a full black leather interior. i hope to get my old black dash fitted aswell this weekend.
more pics to come soon!

heres todays progress. dropped seats off at carrera to get the subframes welded (picking up on monday)
i stripped out the flocked dash today and started to tidy up the wiring loom aswell as finding the problem with my speedo not working.
i got the new dash (skelliton) fitted but by this time it was too dark to get photos and as i couldnt feel my fingers any more i decided to pack up and finish for the day
tomorrow i plan to finish the wiring and get the rest of the dash fitted, then its time to lower the front end (still raised from the rolling road meet last month) and then go to see wil94 about some interior parts!

10/12/2006 - finally got the dash in and working (apart from the radio). i also swapped my black harnesses with my brother for his blue 3points as they have rear anchor points so i can bolt them in propperly.
i have driven it around with only one seat in it today and it feels abit quicker! lol
heres todays photos
and a random one of will94's corsa (fresh from the booth)

been a while since i updated this but then i havent really done anything more to it lol.
i now have enought money to get the ball rolling and get my new engine rebuilt again after it being in pieces for the last 4months lol.
both front doorcards are now in and thats it lol. still need to go and collect my carpet etc from rob hayes and find the rest of the interior parts.
and yes the seats are from ebay. i decided not to get the universal subframes as i already had some coras b sparco subframes but unlike what the advert on ebay says, the seats dont fit the subframes so had some custom made to fit. only thing i dont like about them atm is that they sit abit high so i need to look into mounting them lower still.
cheers for the comments on the exterior but its all going to change hopefully.
im wanting to swap the front bumper for a std post97 with irmscher lip and then change the colour sceam abit but leaving the car white
