Bit of an update!

Yesterday I managed to get my VR Highline Leather doorcards,


 
rear bench



and black ABC pillars fitted and have a general tidy up of the inside!



I also fitted my colour coded and delocked handles at the same time ;)

The car was starting to look like a parts bin lol.....



Doorcards

Before



After



Although I have had a few sets of leather seats, I have never had a set of leather doorcards fitted! So this upgrade makes me really happy! I finally have a full leather interior :)

Handles fitted

Before



After



I really think this mod cleans everything up really nicely.

Hopefully if the weather holds out, I can finally crack on with painting the sump, oil filter housing, Alternator and bracket and the lower and top manifold!

Heard back from LMR, my polished engine bolt kit has been posted today and should arrive with me within the next few days :)

If anyone else is interested in buying the kit, here is the link :)

Today was spent cleaning and prepping engine parts, I forgot how many there were!



The majority of these parts will be going VHT Black or VHT Silver, depending on what they were from factory :)

The same process was applied to the rest.
