Well in between work and my other cars I have been busy with the venturi the exhaust pipes have been looking horrid so with T-cut and G3 and some hard work the exhaust has come up like new.

Before

After
Image

I have stripped the interior to sort out the electrics, the horrid wood which is now piano black and I have been treating the leather which is comming up well apart from the divers seat which will need retriming!!

Image

The wheels have been refurbished by my frien who owed me a favour and there is new rubber on them now too.

Image
Image

Next job is is the headlining and audio, I have also started replacing all the hoses in the engine bay for silicone job's which i will post up soon!!!
