Ooo - looks like Christmas day

How did you hide all that stuff from the Mrs ?

1 Hour before UPS turn up at my house I have to lace Rachaels coffee with Rohypnol

Haha, thankfully everyone was out and was just me in.

And Johnny Dart, Yeah was bloody expensive, still in my budget but was around £2500 and then the driver stung me with the customs on the door too, £500-odd. But it means everything but the headlining is being replaced in the interior.

Annoyingly i had money set aside for the rust and paint removal. A Friends dad owns a garage near me but turns out he cant now. Garage is being shut down for a year so im gonna try and find someone elsewhere now. So the car probably wont be fully done in time for the Mopar Nats and Santa pod this year.

Those new seat covers look a bit baggy...

Haha, yeah they are not great, better than the rug cover that i had from the previous owner, when i was driving home first day the safety pins came off and stabbed me in the back. These are just cheap van bench covers i got for the time being. Had to duct tape the corners down otherwise they come off. Next week though, the bench comes out and the new foam and covers go on .
