Havn't had the chance to get to that yet, and now theres some people that don't like the colour, "a gun metal grey type colour would be better", have to decide on a colour togetter coz its not only my project everyone should be happy with it.
Oh well, we'll se what happens
Thanx tho

Found a guy stripping a exa that was in an accident, the front is smashed.
So we went to there today and got a few parts from the car thats needed on the project.
Got a complete drivers door, only has a slight knock away next to the handle, but nothing major, will get it fixed, its in much better condition as the one on the car now.
Also, the exa was the newer model '89' so we took the taillights aswell, took the projects tails for my exa dont like the the old model lights so much anymore. also got a few more small stuff like >
Roof light,
Clutch and footrest pedal rubbers,
L+R door panals with window winders, handles, cover strips ext.
complete left indicator, thats just pure luck, that car's front was smashed pretty bad, but it survived, and these indicators are quite difficult to find around here
RH rear window rubber,
Backbord cover, the current one had holes cut in it for speakers
Centre console, a piece of the project's console was cut out for the gear lock
Drivers seat, nothing wrong with it just dirty, the passenger seat is 100%, thats the seats sorted
Now i have almost everything thats needed, only 3 more things wanted. Front bumper, RH indicator and the turbo exa's dash cluster, mabye with a bit of luck ill get those items soon
Pics
Will start with the interior sometime in the next 2 weeks

It sure can
I fitted the seats yesterday, man i forgot how comfy these baby's are
Also fitted the backbord cover yesterday.
Old one, speaker holes
New one unmolested
Fitted
But i dont like the look, im thinking of getting the same carpet i used on my sub box and re-cover it to look nicer looks old and fluffy to me
And today fitted the new roof light, it was actually just an excuse to take some pics with my new camera loving it. Here they are. Light is 100% and the lens is brand new, not 1 scratch even the roof lining is still clean

The plan is to restore the interior 100%, only thing not stock will be the steering wheel, sterio headunit and a few nessesery guages, thats it, the speakers will be hidden
