I know I might be accused of being biased as they were/are my seats but they look right at home there :D its going to look freaking awesome finished! And the black harnesses will help the look lots :D I might consider repainting the silver trim round the harness holes as that would help make it look less boy racer and more retro maybe - not sure :wacko: Can't wait to fire it up - shes going to be loud!! Proper loud :D The sooner you finish it the sooner I can use my spare key ;-) Just thought about the silver trim - will match savage switches so not to worry :-) This is going to be freaking awesome though :mrcool:

Small update, Saturday -3 degrees, icicles on the shortie and a small flurry of snow but still managed to finish fitting all the brake lines, hoses and fitted the front pads, just need to add brake fluid and bleed.

Sunday, door cards, didn't go to plan, i was going to use the router and cut out a fancy pattern and glue the vinyl over the top, after ages of trying i was forced to bin that idea and just cover the door cards, plain and boring but serves a purpose
