Done my radars on my split hot chocolate!!
Looked yummy! :lol:

It's American Racing mag grey, Simon @ the Paintbox has the secret formula :D
 
Used some rubble sacks to make the door membrane with just a bit of pritt stick to hold it on before putting the bungs through, also added a small sound deadening sheet in the middle of the panel, makes a lot of difference :D

Got this steering wheel in the post today, bit of an eBay bargain , made by 'Styla' looks like a mountney boss will fit but may be a little on the small side (15.5")

Nothing much to report, been working on the board under the bed, used a free piece of ply I found in the yard but I'm not happy with it, going to use the number plate as the flap to hide the electricals/Eberspacher outlet

awesome wheel and paint choice 8)

Thanks Stu, although with a 4" beam fitted they will only sit 1/4" further in than stock

I can see why most people fit 'Labradors' :D
 
Rain stopped play on the lowering this weekend so I concentrated on the interior, the sunvisors were looking a little worse for wear, but with some CIF and the weight of 40 12" records they will live for another 45 years!

Boredom really set in by Sunday afternoon so I decided to do a bit of scrapbook chic on the under bed board with a July '69 copy of Hot Rod
