Happy New Year
So mechanically the car is stable and fine what ive been doing is rebuilding the whole interior. Its back to just the wiring and sound deadedning.
* New seats with more padding
* re-carpetted - glued down in right places
* new centre tunnel
* speakers added at read
* new dashboard design - although similar and trimmed
Once complete the interior should be to a higher standard and I can get on refining bits. Im also working on the spoiler and plan on fitting a bigger
diffuser over the rear to make it more sporty.
I've built some custom lights and fitted them already, they will go great with larger diffuser (number plate moved) larger circular exhaust
piece and spoiler
Im also liking DDR's styling on latest car they've made

I would be very interested in how you made the lights.

Thanks they look great. How did you hold the lenses for turning, did you turn them on a superglue arbour? Does it affect the optics of the perspex?
Can you take some photos showing the different combinations of LED on? Did you source the COBs from eBay? A quick look shows me loads of options this
is great but as a side project I can see it delaying the build :-)

Finally got the interior updated to a v2, i think a version 3 will be the one done by a professional as im happy with the shape now.
So I will use it over this summer and go from there, I need to decide on where i'm going to have the air vents as well. I think the material im
using is poor, scags so easily and wasnt that cheap. so next winter ill get it done properly when I know i'm happy with the position of
everything.
The android double din headunit is the bets thing, GPS. bluetooth,wifi, custom screens, USB, SD card. I just get home connect to the wifi and download
spotify songs.
Also I have wired the rear view camera to the reverse camera wire and press a button to look behind. Also I can connect a front USB webcam, for front
recording like a dashcam.
The interior isn't finished yet but some pics, first of all before;
After:

thanks, pretty happy with it and especially the driving position, so much better and the seats are much comfier.
I managed to get it back on the road on sunday, I did wonder if the online tax would work as of course being new, no MOT for 3yrs and I've heard
people have problems taxing their car, but mine was fine. Only minor issue I have is with the exhaust tip, the rest of the car was perfect.
