Good Idea. Cars looking great.

Thanks, devilrod - if she turns out half as cool as yours I'll be stoked.

That's the plan, and the instructions given to the trimmer haha now the painful wait while I'm back to work!!

Well here's a little sneak peak (all I've seen so far too). Have to wait till I'm back from work to see it, and will post up more photos then.

Your dog is going to love those new seats .

Hopefully thats an easy clean material, to wipe the drool off! Looking good mate

i havent had the heart to tell him he cant go on the new seats yet.
thinking of grabbing some rubber that i can put over the seat for him to sit on...or just buy a fb/ek ute and chuck him in the back

haha time will tell - now just needs a nice paint job or all one colour to complement the interior!

yep sure am - 5 nights, 2 plane trips, and a lift to the trim shop till i get to see it

been abit slack updating this - been having too much fun...

heres the interior - very happy how it ended up, looks like good quality work, and is WAY better to sit in!




also have some stainless scuff plates, from Sam Cupri to install

and then, the interior didnt tie in with anything being green, so i gave it a roof job so stoked with how this turned out, stole the idea, and the basic how to from devilrods thread (hope you dont mind mate! ) i did one big panel, with a boarder around it. i didnt use candy like in the how to, i just used metallic that was custom mixed to suit the interior... all done in acrylic, cant wait to give it a sand and buff. all pics are straight off the gun.




getting closer to doing the big drive west, only 6 weeks away!!!

Great job on the roof, love it .
Everything you do to this car just makes it better each time, one of my faves.

Don't mind one bit that's why it's up there. Car looks great!

New trim and lace paint looks great and matches really well

Thanks mate - i might add some pics to your how to thread if you dont mind, incase anyone else wants to give it a go.

Bit of an update - sanded and buffed the roof, really happy with how it came out, few spots need a little more sanding but it will do until I get to Perth.




So with the roof buffed, it was time for a cruise - went down to Byron bay for the weekend, I was running pritty much the same weight I'll be carrying for the drive over, she ran like a dream and I think she will make it no worries. Date set to leave qld is 10 nov
