Havent updated in a long time so here are some new pics.

So here is the irmy kit, real bad conditon (think it used to belong on someone on here)

Before:



First time i worked on it:



Still needs alot of work i know, but looks alot better than it did.

Did my normal dials white with red needles.

Fitted my bucket seats

New Steering Wheel

Got some C SXIs







Red plastics have all been removed, just waiting for my carbon fibre wrap to arrive to do them in.

not sure if i should do the irmy bumpers Red or Black, opinions?

heres some pics for you, not of the finished project unfortunatally(sp?) as they are in my friends garage and didnt see him today.







Gloss black plastics, forgot about the bit under the gearstick, and didnt do the plastic above the centre console as im hoping to get a MFD soon.




Put my old seat covers on the back bench to make it match, might get a calibra rear bench or something though, not sure yet.



and a pic of the engine bay, needs a serious tidy up, what can i do to make it look better?
