Haha it's far from perfect mate, that has to be the best angle, cheers though. Still missing some bits and pieces but getting there slowly. I'll swap ya a drive when I get the shit ironed out.

Epsilon from Japan, I've googled them but can't find any pics of these actual rims. I definitely need spacers up the back.

So there's been a little work happening on this thing lately, it's been off the road for longer than I'd like to admit, I've had thoughts of selling it but I can't bring myself to do it.
Hence, Birthday time.
The wiring is sketchy as, butchered is a fitting word, anyway, messing around with the wiring, staring at the cracked dash led to the dash coming out and being stripped.......
Not the greatest shots but you get the idea.
Apply heat...
v cut the cracked foam and space filled...
Cut the excess and sanded flat(er)...
Hopefully today I'll get the new vinyl glued down without too many mistakes.....

Keep plugin away. She's a nice rig to drive, I hope you find the gremlin amongst the messy wiring attempts by previous owners.

Thanks cuntlips.
I was thinking that Nafe but heading down the fleece, resin route. I may still cover it afterwards or smooth and paint. Starting with a badly warped and cracked dash so we'll see how straight it comes out. Pics up tomorrow.

Time to kick this in the nuts.... It'll probably be more like a gentle tap...
Any way, I just bought a whole interior for next to nothing. Front seats are a bit bent due to a heavy hit. The butchered fronts that came with mine have good frames so a fabric swap is in the near future. Pics to follow.

So this is the front seat(s) that came with the car.
I have been keeping an eye out for a whole interior
since I bought it.
This is the damage sustained to the seat frame
from the young fellas (po) accident. Must have
been a decent shunt.
And the final product for the passenger side.
Aside from the little wear mark the rest of the
interior is in pretty good shape.
A quick mock up

Might be a struggle but good timing with the Mardi Gras on....

Finished off the driver seat today, not too shabby I reckon.
