Cheers :). Ill upload some of the interior as soon as I can. Phones about to die and it eats my battery when uploading lol. The back seat was a bit of a mission to get in. Dosnt sit 100% properly over the wheel arch. I'm planning on going to the upolsterers as soon as I can to get it sitting right. Not that noticeable to anyone else but the owners of cars always pick out the stuff ups lol

Here's the interior.
Ill take a pic of the cluster when it gets dark. I sanded back the green film off the dials in the cluster and put some blue LED's in to brighten it up a bit

Front seats bolt straight in but the back seat was a bit of a hassle getting in. Heaps more comfortable aswell mine mustn't have been used much coz they're still hard and not worn at all
