Took the misses out for a spin tonight, just to see what she reckoned and she prefers it stripped

Haha, i know dude. I'll get on it. The carpet on the arches seems to be glued? So i'm going to make sure i've got plenty of time to do it right as i want to be able to put everything back if i ever need/want to. The rear plastics, i need to get the cage out to remove them, so again, more effort than a quick job. Shall all be done though dude

Right folks. I've been off work since yesterday, partially due to me wanting to get some stuff done to the Sax and partially due to the fact i went to see Enter Shikari last night, was mint i tell thee. But anyway, yesterday i went to the scrap yard and picked up some 106 door bins and door handle surrounds. A bargain at £5. These will be fitted once i get my fibreglass door cards which my mate makes.
Today's progress:
Basically today, i wanted to get the rear stripped properly. First up i had to get the cage out and the rear door panels off..
This revealed lots of wiring, so i decided it needed tidying up...
Then i wanted the arch carpet off, but it left lots of horrid glue which looked messy as...
Pipe cleaner is my friend...
The result of afew hours
And then i gave her a wash... and it started to start spitting with rain lol

Cheers dude. It's abit strange having my car stripped out at the minute. I like it, but it's taking some getting used to. Keep going outside and looking at it lol.

Who thinks Pro Race 1.2's in black would look good? I know they're a common wheel, but i like them.
EDIT: Also took the sound deadening off the rear arches this morning... but i aint going to post pics up of that lol. Just imagine bare metal haha

Well, it's definetly lighter lol. It's raised the back a little and has made the stance spunk-worthy dude. Just got to see how money goes for buckets and harness'. Hopefully get them in the next month or two. Hope the S is suiting you well

That sounds good dude Who's doing it? Or pm me if you prefer. I'd really like leather. But strangely stripping it out happens to be more practical and the added bonus is it's abit cheaper. Once it's all flocked etc it should look awesome too
