Damn, I have a long way to go. :)
I also want to change the interior, but ....... :scared:
I want to start with leather on my dashboard this weekend

Talking of leather fitted my bonnet straps today, didn't use the screws and nuts supplied got some from by loacal boat chandler in stainless steel, srews and bolts (cost 50p), as its difficult to get at the back once the front is fitted, Isombard Seanick will know what I'm on about.

Ohh, I find it hard to get at the back, especially when using leather and stainless.........

Can't match the latest you tube development but found a cheap set of 5 genuine wheels for someone, not sure about the size as seller states they are old metric? You need to be quick though!

It looks like they take the metric tyres like some old metros montegos etc. tyre choice would be limited and probably expensive. That's why they are cheap, best to avoid I would think!
