When I get some money it will get the full works, hopefully. Going to get into detailing for this car. ATM its bucket of water to rinse the muck off, bucket of water and cheap car shampoo stuff, another bucket of water to rinse and then dry it off.
Sub now fitted and working, need a way of securing it as it slipped across the boot and pulled the earth cable off :/ good job it wern't the live eh?
Also fitted the pipercross, not had a proper chance to test out how it sounds, you can drive round normally and it wont make any difference, foot down it makes a great deep rumble Also need a better way of securing that then electrical tape :/
Gave the standard filter box a spray of satin black while I was at it.
Also gave the drivers side front brakes etc. some fresh paint:
With the wheel on:
Pics tomorrow, Too tired tonight
EDIT: added
Cheers,
Matt
Update:
Don't think I've posted any pics of the interior so thourt i might as well:
More engine bay polishing:
Took the filter off, was just making me put me foot down everywhere to make it growl lol
Started making my own Guage pod for in font of the gear lever as the volvo ones seem a bit scarce to say the least
Templates
Cut the wood bits out using the templates to see how they fitted
Epoxy resin to hold them together
Filler ... to fill the gaps
Fitted perfect ... a little too perfect as it took me ages to lever them back out.
Only problem is I didn't drill the holes for the guages before sticking it all together But I'll manage somehow.
Dunno what I'm going to cover it in, Give it a thin skim of filler and paint? Leatherette? Carpet? Skin it in carbon? (yeah I can do that )
Then its just wiring it up
And a couple pretty pictures I took own the unsurfaced bit of my favorate actual private road that I use for sideways-ness (not my private road tho)
Thanks for looking
Matt

In which time I drove normally to somewhere off the road where I could practice, by the time I got the it had dried up
But it goes pretty easy without rain, I'm still a learner though
I never have the right tools so drill and coping saw it is:
All cut
Still a beginner at using filler
Nearly sanded
Test fit:
Will hopefully get it finished tomorrow, dunno what colour it will go
Thanks for looking

Took a few more but these are the ones that survived the heavy photoshopping

UHU FTW! [but not in confined spaces]
I am still impressed Matt, love the way the gauge holder looks original!
