I thought it would be nice and easy to fit the handbrake cables. nope apart from half the rubber boot being missing on one of the ones that I took off they had a spacer on them which looks like it should not be there

I got a new throttle cable from an mgf and they are a bit longer than the metro one. so I made a new bracket for the throttle body



I have put the two doors back together but have not put them back on the car I think they might get in the way when I fit the carpets and trim to the

car

Some great progress. Inspired idea to extend the throttle body bracket.

I have added some switches and I have put some material in the glove box I have also put in the pedalbox

I have started to put the trim in the car



I have gone with black trim for the dash I hope this will not reflect the sun



I went with some cream roof lining to see if this would lighten up the inside of the car



the black and red looks good in the car

here is just a small amount of the nuts and bolts rod end and bushes that I have replaced

I have started to make a front splitter for the car. I got some Universal Wing style front corner splitters from eBay
but did not like the look of just the corners.



so I made a wooden profile for the middle and covered it with fiberglass



I have joined the three parts together and there is a lot more work is needed on them



I have fitted the front splitter and I think it will look ok. but the front grill was sprayed with some Santin black paint but it has come out very shiny



the front spitter is all done and painted back and looks ok but I sprayed the front grill was painted red and a don't like it I wish a had left it black



I had a lot of problems with the black paint I think the red and back did not mix the black paint keeps going funny.
I will let it go hard and at some point redo the black

I have now put the new carpet in the car



this came from Coverdale UK Ltd which is nice you can still get them new there is still a lot of cutting to get it to fit the car

I don't know if I should have gone with black it shows up all the fluff

i have now put the centre console in the car



And we have something to sit on they will do for now but at some point I will get some better ones

Not going to bang your knuckles on it in 1st and 3rd gear?

Nice job on the splitter. That's exactly how the originals came about!

Paul just be careful with the splitter a PO had one on my car and hit the kerb when parking causing crazing on the front clam

Hi thanks i have a lot of crazing on the front clam i don't need any more

Hi Paul,
If you are still after seats, if these are as good as they look they're a bit of a bargain for recliners.

Hi thanks they would look great in the car its a shame it's to far for me
