No easy solution. Elbow grease, and lots of it. All "quick" stripping process's seem to have their pitfalls. I've lost count of the stories of rippled panels from blasting too.

Fair play. Headlinings are always fun. At least it'll be black and not show up mucky finger prints!

Not been on for a couple of weeks. Been on a course and then some long night shifts this week. In my down time during the day this week i have finally got around to installing some stereo gear. Not having tunes has been doing my head in. I'd taken the old Chrysler radio out and was going to put in o...

Ho there.

Good luck with finding something!

This looks like a decent car to start with. Not crazy money either.

I've got a set, with rings, brand new never used them. Was going to do my own seats, but farmed them out in the end. If you need them PM me.

Its the same part that a lot of other companies are selling, but by far the cheapest. Classic Industries was about another £50 on top of that. Thats before their crazy shipping too.

The spoiler arrived. Nice quality, sturdy metal supports, and made of really good chunky fibreglass with metal inserts. Shame there were no fixings for inside the boot.. They kind of leave at your own devices to sort those fixings out. It was a bit bum clenching drilling into the freshly painted boo...

That seat looks good. Sometimes those off the shelf kits aren't 100%. Better than paying thousands to have someone make bespoke ones though. Mine weren't perfect, but after a few miles and a few arses in them, they're settling down nicely. A bit of extra padding can only be a good thing in the long ...

That sounds dodgy. Is someone trying to rip you off?
I'm not aware of anything like that. Perhaps someone can call on your behalf from the UK?
