Default update on the box.

Have been very busy this week, and got a few things done

Thursday afternoon i attempted to fix saggy GL headliner.
3 hours later, after changing all plastics and rubbers this is wat it turned out like; i used ed fairmont rooflining, light and baby side lights, and jesus bars.
also needed a seatbelt changed, whole job broke 2 clips



next day i flogged my fairmont velour seats, which were mint seats, and very comfy for:



and cleaned engine bay the same day.



ive also decided to leave the ea grey dash in and thus the reason for the ea grey center console lid. doors will be changed to, dont wanna modify sexy door trims for window winders now do I! :P



saturday saw a foot rest (next to clutch go in) and the "better" steering wheel


today i got around to cleaning my rims, tried abit of autosol on the center bit, and only whiped the chrome dish...! :hihi:
