leather out of a cab won't fit except for the front seats, looks a good solid car for restoration :)

Looks like a solid base for a project. Interior looks pretty good as it is - doesnt look worn at all - I would sort out the bodywork and wheels first and then upgrade the interior .......good luck finding a tan leather sport trim though. I looked for one for ages and ended up going with tan cloth - which still wasnt cheap ! :mad:

hi everyone.cheers for your good comments, i couldnt do it all in candy because my brother got a e30 mtec2 candy red cab so didnt want to copy to much, as for the windscreen with it being at work i couldnt leave it inside for a couple of nites so had to put the windows back in just in case it rain or anything.as for the radwasher bottle and exhaust i just blow them off as best as i could . i was a bit pushed for time because i have to do it in and out of works jobs. but over all its turn out cleaner then i thought am just going to nib the some bits out and polish it.
