After doing my door cappings silver I bought another set & this is what I did last weekend!


I do like that colour, is it volcano?
Piano black suits it perfectly, IMO.:yesnod:

Console in and looking good (i think anyway), New Gear knob going on my shopping list.



On .org you'll have seen this, here it is a reminder of what my car looked like last year.



After plenty of angle grinder action we have this, Still some welding todo!





And the bit i'm eager to get on.
