Put a couple of rivnuts in for mounting the headlining back, went well too so will be putting lots more in to replace the clips.
Hopefully have it all refitted by next weekend including the light board.

Ace, it’ll be good to see the pictures once it’s all done

Stripped the front trims and headlining out

Managed to paint some of the trims and one coat on the headlining before wind stopped play.

Hey, they’ve turned out really good

I’ve added the colour change to my list of mods...

Struggling to find a 5 litre container of autobrite dye, do you have suppliers details?

Used about 3 litres so far but it was cheaper than 1 litre bottles
He may be out of stock but message him and he’ll let you know when back in. Took a couple of days last time he ran out.

Waiting for new grab handles, going to make new grab straps and will do seat belt covers when new one arrives as drivers one is missing cover
On to the rear soon, way too hot in there to do more today

Looking really awesome!

Was everything done using the Autobrite dye?

No, tried it on plastic, wasn’t good
Used bumper paint for plastics.

Looking good so far mate. The auto brite dye works a treat by the looks of things
I’m looking forward to seeing the progression with this build

Thank you, very pleased with the autobrite and the paint, hopefully they last.
I’m trying not to add to my build list until I’ve finished the current jobs but it’s not easy being on here and getting ideas.
Need to hold off spending for a while to get the bodywork sorted.
