lol a lot of time and money has already gone into it :P

Better their money then mine ;) Got a car with 90% of the sound system nicely done and still intact - he wanted the head unit, I was fine with getting a new one :) Way too much effort/money spent on the sound system and what not... seriously crazy.

That's the plan... leatherette, suspension and some engine work, very interested in your supercharger plans... altho I've got a GPX so will probably require more work :(

Just getting the new head unit into the damn thing was enough pain for this month however haha :D Ah well at least it's working :D

You should see the wiring in the boot, I'm sure the first owner had it zip tied and looking like gold... but man now it's like noodles gone crazy down there under the boards. :S I could spend an entire weekend sorting just that out haha it's a mess.

You ever see the interior in the flesh though benoz? Anyone who's seen the pics from fast4s and what not had a bit of a up-chuck over the interior. I am one of them, it looks fluffy and baby blue in those pics. It's not quite that bad in real life... not fluffy (well not extreme when brushed the right way) and definitely paler blue.

I still want a change... I'm truely not sure what I want exactly though, guess I'll be off to many car shows.

The cars showing her age a bit though, needs some tidying up here and there but I still love it to death. :D My gixxer (suzuki GSXR 600) is sitting dejected in the garage and sadly I have to sell her... I'll get another when I can though... but yeah the cars taken precedence. :roll:

With christmas, moving to a new house (which I'm yet to find!) and all the other expenses of not working thru the festive season the new toys for the car are going to have to wait till new year... I can keep researching though :D

Edit: I'd love suggestions on what I should do with the interior ... any links to examples of anything tidy wouldn't go astray if anyone has some laying about the traps.
