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 !

why leave the front windscreen in and spray half the wheels,radwasher bottle and exhaust

they are full of dust and shit which could blow on the paint

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.
