I tried to put some pictures up of the new interior at the weekend but the camera phone let me down big time, so here is my weekends work, new interior, de-oranged the headlight, sprayed the grills black, and fitted my new rear speakers.


Interior before;

Next moves are changing the alloys, looking towards black straights or 11 spokes, taking the big brakes off, and freeing up some cash for something else........

Much better. Them brakes will fetch a handsome price. May even get you a set of 11's with good rubber.

Sorry my bad, I see they are better quality.

Does this mean this is no longer going to be a track car :(

i love thos wheels on that car, which is an odd one for me because i usually only like original alloys on them, but i think if your going back to standard then the straights will look good on there, its a nice car that one, well looked after in the past, glad its still getting looked after now

Well with it being full poly bushed, coilovers (in the shed), and with the engine spec it will be more than capable of holding its own on any track day. :king:

With the brakes off they should look better, as the whole lot are currently spaced out.

I'm really starting to love this car now, just going to try and make it my own, My love went up a level with the new VIS motors. :w00t:

Looking amazing! Well done bud. Interior looks as fresh as the Monaco set I put in there :happy:

Just keep looking after her because I know she is something special as do many people across the forums. Private plate on too! :beer2:

That interior is quite a nice change, should prove itself useful if you need to ferry people around!
As for the wheels, have you considered addendums?
Stick up a decent side profile view and I'll shop some for you if youd like.

Is it weird that I prefer the mk1 as a hatch and the mk2 as a saloon?

I really wanted a mk2, but as time goes on I'm really falling in love with this car!
