Installed trans cooler and flushed radiator today, so thought id take some pics of engine bay and finished interior. Really happy with how the interior turned out. It was hard trying to find sandalwood velour and got the last bit on the roll of the berlina striping. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Nah a guy at my work was throwing them out gave him $250 for them. trim was black in ****ty condition with different rails. was told they might have been out of a rs2000 escort but not sure. Got rails made up to suit by scheel australia for vl, tracked down some trim and got a trimmer at work to trim the up for me for a $200 box of wine lol. got the idea from another forum users car that i saw in street commos mag.
