Well I’ve just got back from an extended weekend with my buddy Stu. Amongst working on his car, and other things, I got most of the interior stripped out of mine.

Tailgate trim, boot trim, rear seat bolsters (took the seats out the other day), C-pillars, B-pillars, rear seatbelts and various fittings.

Tomorrow I’ll remove a couple more bits, and the headliner *gulp*, and take some photos!

Bought some new front seats to retrofit too, watch this space. Well, they will have their own space, but you know what I mean.

I had a worklog when I was building the car up as a show car, but I neglected it, and changed direction slightly. Car is now destined to be a show-stopping track car!

Should have started this as soon as I made the decision really but oh well, I’m not that far into the build!
