Back home from the trimmers!
Discussion
After leaving my company in late December, the old girl is finally back with me after picking up today. Now fully trimmed in the finest hide the poor cows could provide it looks just as it should.
Many thanks to KRJ trimmers who have put a multitude of 'factory spec' issues straight and a testiment to their attention to detail.
Just the big brake conversion and air con sorting in a couple of weeks time and its ready for show season. The car is testiment to 3 very clever specialists.
Torque TVR, SP Automotive & KRJ Trimmers, Cheers guys and girls:
Started like this:
Now this:
Not the best pictures but you get the idea. Seat backs are trimmed in matching white leather, not painted. Steering wheel fully hand stiched as is the roll cage. Speaker box is trimmed to match and has Infinity 6 x 9's and Kenwood powered sub.
Boys and their toys eh, (pic below before interior trim)

Cheers Trev, all your fault for starting this addiction.
Pic's don't do it justice, the white headlining, upper white seat detail and fit of new glove box lid to name but a few, bring the car to standard the factory should have aimed for.
Hope yours is fairing well, set quite a standard in what I expect from my latest project.
Cheers,
Pete.

Looks better than factory quality in the pics, and with that sound system, those wheels your car looks better than most of the factory output!Pic's don't do it justice, the white headlining, upper white seat detail and fit of new glove box lid to name but a few, bring the car to standard the factory should have aimed for.

Mine is running fine, not had much use these past few months for various reasons. Spring is around the corner though
Cheers for all the kind words. The car started life with black spiders, which are still in the garage. IMHO silver is the colour for wheels and will shpow off those new big disks all round and 6 pot calipers at the front.
Each to their own in my opinion.
The work shown cost me £3k for the record, but I've been told not to tell anyone as the work was far more work than expected due to lack of correct fit and decent fastners to name but a few issues. KRJ were true to the initial quote but don't think they will cost using the same method next time.
All windows came out, including rears and replaced with new. They have been seated better than standard with rubber trim below the rears to match the door trim, detail really but compare before and after and its a nice touch.
The car will be at Chatsworth, fingers crossed, so hope anyone interested comes over and says hi.

Will do! Does anyone know if the different models park together? Just to make it easier to find you.. I want to have a nose at the sound install you have as standard is woeful.Haven't done a show before as an owner, nor really been to one as a spectator so hope somebody can clear that up for me as well.
Have to agree about the sound was going for door speakers at one point but seemed a shame to spoil the clean lines of the door as it was to be trimmed white. The solution is a simple one and sounds ample for such a relatively small space. Having said that, yet to get the best out of the SD only head unit (bluetooth phone connectivity and decent radio tho, shame about the rubbish aerial), bought because I'm sick of changing and loosing CD's and no real room for a multichanger.
Like I say each to their own, see you there if you make it.

Oh look, I wonder if I know this car...
I will probably be there in my T350 too (I didn't have my car last year as I had loaned it to Pete
