So the project starts......

I wasn't sure weather to keep it stripped out, because I have to drive it to work every other week, plus have to carry more than 2 people now and again. As well as planning to do some track days though the summer. I was going to drop in a full interior, but driving it around over the weekend I loved the buckets seats.

Popped down the scrap yard this afternoon, and think I've come up with a halfway house, which I'm very pleased with. I've used a Civic hatchback's rear bench, and boot carpets, and parcel shelf. I thought the seat weren't to far off the buckets in colour, and the trims in jet black.

So trackday car for the most part:



and all the parts are stored in the car, so in a minute or 2 its a 5 seater.





I know I've added extra weight, but this a daily runner at the end of the day. Just need rear door cards, and a carpet.

Few other picture from Sunday after bleeding the brakes, and a clean.



"ZSMARTY'S" latest project in the back ground.

Yeah, much better. I would expected more though, the missus TF on its AP's seems to brake a lot harder, plus the ABS keeps cutting in, so may set about removing it.

On another note, only because I keep forgetting to text you. Could you send the CAT on to me, we forgot to put it in the car on friday.

There the STD cards with the rare early inserts at the top which are colour coded in trophy blue, but could easy be sprayed black or red [IMG][/IMG]
