This looks great. I had forgot about this project. In answer to you question about covering the door cards. Isnt their a fabric shop near you. They should have some stuff.

Where did you get the seat covers from? And why did you change from a front mounted radiator to side mount?

i took the seat covers off the mpi mini saloon back seat and covered the estate one with it.to fit the front mount rad you really need to fit the mpi front panel whitch is cut around rad and fan.with that panel fitted when you put a mk1 grill on you can see the cut out part of the panel.

That's pretty cool! Nice project, very individual

[Littlegizmos]

anyone know how i could polish a scratch out my side window?

[deemo]

This for scratches?
and this too fill it in before buffing if it's deep scratch.

Fantastic project, just read through it as I haven't seen it before and she's looking really good. Great work too, nice to see it being done properly.
I like it
