Glad you like it. Yes slowly and the to do list is getting shorter.

I'm also replacing the window button on the right.

Other than that probably fix the stone chips upfront and have 3m clear bra , install new tail light and sunroof seal.

Would anyone recommend I redye the leather or have Lakewell upholster for me new leather ?

It's fun to take these cars and make them as close to new as possible, isn't it?
I've repaired all the paint issues on my car and replaced every single piece of rubber trim. This year the plan is new rockers and taillights (as well as the engine stuff). It gives you tremendous pride in your car.

To be honest its bloody enjoyable. I wouldn't mind buying something else and starting from scratch.

The front end needs some work because its been repainted on the side of the Right panel fender and not done properly. Ideally I would repaint the front bonnet, front fenders and bumper then apply 3M clear bra ?

What do you guys suggest ?

The driver seat is okay but has lots of creases in the front section in the middle. Would re-dye help the trick or its better to get newly upholstered seats ?

You will normally get the exclamation light until the brake pressure builds up, then it goes out.

I see, I drove it for 3 minutes and they told me its normal and it illuminates just when the lights are on. It's the small exclamation sign just on the right above the 3 buttons. The area under the dash in front of the gear.

Lots of progress done over the past two weeks.

Replaced passenger door window button.

Installed passenger side taillight.

Adjusted CO.

Ordered Turbo switch and turbo 3.6 emblem because my car is missing the dot between the 3 & 6.

Sunroof seal also on order.

After that just needs a proper detail and 3m clearbra.


Radio


In order to perfect it the way I want:

3M Clear bra, centre taillight and driver tail light. full detail inside out and new turbo 3.6 emblem plus sunroof seal and I'm probably done.

Got the car back, all is fine but I think the oil pressure sender unit is faulty. I'll pass by the dealer again tomorrow and have them to inspect it.

Great looking car btw... But, am I the only one who thinks that the exhaust "tips" stick out just a tad too much? It doesn't look stock and although many of us have changed our exhausts, including yours truly, from your pictures, it seems the driver side one in particular is a good 1-2 inches out?

The tips are B&B and the exhaust is not stock, I will align the tips tomorrow when I receive the car back from wheel alignment. The front currently has lot of negative camber.
