Talking of smelling funny. I've had the interior treated to a wet vac and valet  :smiley:. There was a lot of sh!t that came out of those carpets  :sick:







And the previous owner had done the usual of putting 6x9's in the parcel shelf  :rolleyes: so I ripped off the old covering, made a new rear piece and re-covered it  :cool:



I've also started doing a few bits to the outside via the help of lamin-x  :evil:. Still to do the indicators cos I ran out of material  :sad:



Also popped in some osram nightbreakers to counteract the tint  :laugh:.

Borbets will be going as soon as I can find a buyer for them as I have chosen the ones I want ready for it being on the road next spring :afro:

Looking good Andy. I know what you mean about the old shoe too!  :evil:

I need to do my parcel shelf actually, what material did you use? Its pretty thin so I'm not sure if carpet will mould into the recesses properly.  :smiley:

Cheers Buddy.

It's great having one again. This has been garaged for more than a year so it needs a few bits doing (brakes etc. but that'll be done when I get the keys to the lock up  :cool:

I used this material on the parcel shelf...

Only needed to order 1m of it so very cheap then I used spray contact adhesive and as I placed the material on I moulded it in with the back of my hand and it has stayed in place  :cool: :cool: The material has a little bit of stretch in it so good for things like this  :wink:
