    that looks very neat, i like the leather seats for 150 thats a bargain, also I noticed you were still running the existing clutch fan with the gilmer belt, have you had any issues with it?

    Thanks for the feedback. I've got a couple of more ideas up my sleeve at the moment, will update over the next couple of weeks.

    Regarding the interior, the seats are out of a VZ Calais and the door trims, dash, interior plastics etc etc were all done by myself. It is a massive job once you include all the prep work etc...I wouldnt do it again. I picked up the cream "fake" leather from Clarke Rubber.

    The car runs like a dream with the gilmers and factory clutch fan, was going to change to AU thermos but I cannot see the point at this stage.

    Thanks for that mate, i was in there the other day but couldnt see any. Is it just a case of wrapping the material over the exsisting door trim/dash?

    I wrapped the door trim inserts with the "leather", but used Buck Skin vinal dye for the rest. Use the 3M stuff, not the Motorcraft brand as it is terrible!

    Nothing exciting yet.

    I'm thinking about selling up and building a gen 1. Just tossing up ideas at the moment.

    Small little update. Made up a new exhaust for it. Just a simple twin 2.5 to a single 3 dumped just before the diff. The thing is stupidly loud now....Good thing I hardly ever drive it.
