I'm glad you have got your paint issues sorted out. We ended up rejecting both doors and the boot lid due to paint missing, fish eyes and swirl/sanding marks. These were the only items i did not touch in the bodyshop but the car body itself came out fine. We have held back £500 until the doors and boot meet the same standard as the rest of the car plus they will need to sort out the damage caused by the restraining strops once the car is back on its wheels.

The colour does look the dog danglies and the carbon pieces as well. It will be one very smart clubbie when its done.

i didnt, i took both the honda front seats and the stock estate rear seats to a upholsterer dude and he found a match for the Doc Marten cherry red and re-covered both the front and rear seats.
he gave me the left over vinyl and i made all of the little trims and door cards with it.

Lovely!

& have you updated your house build thread?! I enjoyed reading that.

[vtec_miniestate]

Love the build! the car looks stunning!!!

[olds_kool_lews]

looking very tastey mate! done a nice job on that! that exhaust looks abit mad though lol

[Mart!]

analogue - i havent updated the house thread, but its almost finished... i'll update it when i'm done!

olds - yeah the exhaust is borderline... i'm not sure i'll keep it. sounds nice but might be a bit loud on the highway. also, i'm gonna wait till the bumper and plate are installed, see how it all looks together...

thanks for the comments!
cheers

i just have to report, the harley tailpipe + the cherry bomb sounds f@#$ing brilliant under load. not annoying and high pitched at all, more like a raspy "BRAAAAAAAAAAA".

i just have to take it to a shop where they can weld it all together and remove the billons of clamps i used...
