hey thanks for the compliment.

yeah I like coloured carpets, I do it to match the exterior and find it really lifts the small interior.
the seats are red too.

The job wasn't so difficult, just very time consuming... dyna-matting, under felting, laying audio cables, painting everything before it was re-fit. and after I put everything in, I then took it back out, glued the felt and carpet down, then re-fit.. I prob spent close to 20 hours last weekend!!

making a small sub box now. will keep the updates rolling, havent pushed it outside yet, waiting for the final "reveal" as they say in those build shows.

Cheers

Just an update;

I went to my local brake shop and they kitted it out for me... looks like new.

I will post details and part numbers of the piston kit they used. they matched one up for me.

cost $44.

Hi guys,

Just wondering if anybody can offer any advice about how to install the chrome lock strip on teh new windscreen seal.

I have bought a generic type locking strip from Scotts Old Rubber, the one listed for 1200.

I installed the screen using an EBAY rubber from Phils Rotaries, which was fine.

now the channel which I would expect to lay the chrome strip in seems to be too narrow and has a flap of rubber over the top?

first question is Do i have the correct locking strip? its about 1cm wide at the base and basically a semi circle hump with flanged ends...

2) if this is the correct strip, do I cut the flap of rubber off to install?

Cheers

Hi guys,

It's been a fair while since my last update.. ive been busy reassembling the car.

A progress shot of my new interior I am finishing up.

new carpet from SIBA carpets installed, new kick panels with 6 inch SONY XPLOD splits, installed a 4 channel 600W amp under the drivers seat.

Dashboard restored by "Dashboard Recovering Services" all over a dynamatted interior... You would not believe how long this took. final piece of hte puzzle arrived today so I should be able to finish the central locking and door assembly.. on track for rego

A big thanks to IVAN for getting me a quarter window.. champion effort thankyou again. I owe you one.
