i also started on the trim.

one of the good things about this build is i bought alot of stuff years ago that i never used. rares rubber kit still in box and a roll of velour trim. saved me a bit of $$$$

heres one of the door trims, still got to cut speaker and handle holes

and heres a speaker soround i made out of 6mm mdf, covered in padding, now im goning to cover in black velour

thanks terry, i spend as much time as i can on it.

small update

glued all the boot carpet in

started putting the trim in

i had a problem with one of the rare spares rubbers, front left outer was too long along the bottom and not long enuff at the top, i took it with me to the summernats, rares swaped it no questions asked

i bought the rares boot rubber and just as every one says it didnt fit.
for a boot rubber i used 2 front/rear inner door rubbers

getting close now

You must get it done for the Nats........after all it is an FB and this is the 50th birthday (gees, did I just say that

) .......... all jokes aside, the FB is looking great and make sure you get to the Nats to meet a whole lot of people that are crazy about these special Holdens (EK's included....obviously

)

Keep up the great work.
