The owner is currently doing time for offences committed to one of Ted's finest and whilst incarcerated is having good taste installed that will better suit his new rehabilitated self upon release, allegedly whistle

Mind you, at least it is the correct colour yes

hi wayne, it also has windows as well - hinged at that loser

hi dilley, the car belongs to a good friend of mine. he actually did the leather work himself. he was in that business but has now emigrated, the car will shortly be put up for sale to part fund said emigration. he told me if he did all the work for a customer, we would be talking thousands rather than hundreds of pounds, it took a lot of hours to get all the leather work correct.

sorry but this probably doesnt help.

Mr Dilley,

Would you mind doing a quick summary of where you are with the car and what you intend to do. It just seems as though you have plenty of pies and lots ov fingies.

No pressure.

no probs...

Car is fully built, I just need to make my mark on it!!! I want to change the final drive ratio, I have been talking to BAE about supercharging and I think this will go ahead as AS bhp quotes come from bullshit alley- still a good engine though!!

I am having the interior trimmed in 5 weeks time, leather covered ally bulk head, centre console with new ac controls, with stereo housing, leather clad side panels, dynamat and carpet on the floor,

I am trying to decide what to do with the dash layout, I am happy with the gauges and having a centre pod on the dash, I just hate the crap switches everywhere.

I;m trying to get as much info as I can and do it once,

I have had a full suspension setup done by SSS and I am happy with the outcome,

having spent alot of money on the car I want it right.

Dilley,

forgot to say Its not for sale anymore!!! I was quite dissapointed when I first got the car but I think I can turn it around into somthing more personal.

I had my roll cage covered. I had them use very thin padding.....

Basically its made out of two pieces, double stitching facing the door, and on the opposite side of the bar its hand stitched (like a steering wheel)

Some photos below and more here

We've been discussing various options for hinged/removable side screens here
