I've heard this can happen.
Looks great Jamie and glad it turned out to be as rust free as we first thought. I think it deserves a retrim, given the quality of the rest of the car.

retrim the car in a way that expresses your individuality, and compliments the style and purpose of the vehicle.
Dont bother with those rubber fake steel checker plate matts, they don't fool anyone.

I have exactly the same seats in my bmw.
I've been told that they came from some opel/vauxhall.

Glad to hear it's all rust free.
The wheels need to be an earthy colour IMO, like you said, brown, or maybe even a nice olive green or, (slightly less earthy) royal blue.
We'll need to organise a NW meet once everyone is done.

Sorry to be late to the party, but what brand lift is that (the blue one)? Looks handy as hell. You happy with it?

yes still happy with it. infact Nas has just borrowed it and done his rebuild on it.. handy is an understatement. got mine from here but they seem to have gone up a fair bit in price in the last 18 months
