Afksam Posted August 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 Right so today has been MAAAAAAAD spent from 10-6:30 changing over my interior (PICS COMING SOON!) and replaced my cambelt and water pump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afksam Posted August 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 (edited) New interior time! looks really nice as before I hated those green and grey tim/tom seats, so now I've got the dark grey interior and replaced the seatbelts with black ones and most of the plastic that surrounds the back seatsnot sure but those stains on the passenger look a bit "happy".....

Afksam Posted August 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 So as an update is due its a pretty big one Firsty change a little more of the interior to the darker colour which looks pretty cool as has a contrast going on between the green car dark grey interior with some light grey bits (don't have a photo yet) Fitted one pop out window which was a pain in the ass, put some sticky floor protector on the glass and hit it with a spanner which still caused glass to go all over rear seats and floor (thank god for hoovers xD) Got the engine back in but without an engine lift which was a bit of a pain but with the help of 2 jacks and some wood it wasn't too bad only encountered one problem and that was that a fuse blew as soon as the battery was connected so gotta look into that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
