And while i was collecting the seats from the same guy i got the hardtop from I remembered to get the relay this time so the heated rear window is now working :woohoo:
and had a mad idea and bought bothhis side grilles for a fiver :lol: ..
and fitted them now i dont know if i should keep them the colour that are... or spray them the silver i had in mind lol





Any thoughts

I think it's looking lovely :broon:
I quite like the red vents, but I like anything pretty and different

I also got the 52mm throttle body in the post today... so thats my mission on sunday lol

mission accomplished on fitting the throttle body, that was easier than i though it would be :woohoo: I like it 2nd and 3rd gear is so much fun lol

Carbon induction next

Yes induction kit is next on the list for work to be done on the engine,, Im just sitting here waiting for the plastic primer to dry on the console trim in th garage before spraying it same as body colour

Here we go. Console trim done.
primer



1 coat



few coats



fitted

Looks amazing and thank you for the pictures and update. Those seats were an absolute steal for the money, they look hardly used.

You are also good at the spraying and have given good descriptions, it is very easy to put on too much paint and get runs and sags. I sprayed a Fiesta for my children many years ago, they chose Ford Mercury Grey, well what a pig to spray :bang: the metal in the paint kept on sinking in the gun and you had to keep the gun shaken whilst getting a good even pass. it looked good in the finish but took longer to do in the end and used much more paint because i sprayed so many coats. the lacquer was a doddle.

Keep up the good work, your car is looking fantastic :woohoo:

Well done, that looks fab :broon:
