Hi Guys,
Well - as ususal, it has been along time coming - but looks as though I am on the home stretch - fior the interior anyway....![jumper](https://rennlist.com/forums/graemlins/jumper.gif)
Just need to adjust handbrake and get the passenger seat/harness in....
The upgrades include:
Rear Wiper delete
Rear parcelshelf and seat and seatbelt delete
Custom parcelshelf
Custom rear seat cover
Lightweight carpet to the above
Welded in custom 6 bar 1/2 cage
New 6 point Scroth Harnesses
Sub Bar mounting to existing drivers seat (custom due to low seat position)
New Handbrake to match exisitng wheel + gearknob
Custom painted factory GT3 cloth seats
A lot of the work including the seat strip, paint and recover (what a B&#!H) I did myself incuding stripping out and cleaning all of the sound deadening (and I thought the seats was a ****ty job!!!) and helping the trimmer with the rear seat section.
I am really happy witht he results - i was worried i would end up with a slow race car - rather than a fast street car - so i re installed the sound deadening and chose to try and keep it as factory looking as possible.
The brakes have been done - more pics to follow when the car is clean. I have done a shakedown day - and let me tell you I have NEVER experienced brakes like this before.... HAND OF GOD stopping power... All I need to do is redo all of my braking markers now..![banghead](https://rennlist.com/forums/graemlins/banghead.gif)
Pics attached,
Best,
Simon.

Jay - Thanks!
The brakes were done by my workshop over here.
The front hubs were modified and the rears had to have a one off custom hat made (so the hand brake would still fully function)
The rotors are brembo Race 2 piece slotted 355MM - And yes I did front AND rears...![Wink](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif)

Simon,
Nice job mate! I'd like to see more pics of the brakes and the seats... I love the custom paint on the back of the seats... when is your next track day?
Feel better and best to everyone.

Jay,
I spoke to the shop yesterday - they are doing a "kit" on the brake upgrade.... Makes me so HAPPY that i paid for everyone else's R&D.....![Smilie](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
PM me for info - as they are not sponsors and I am affiliated with them ( I guess??)
Sebastian - Thanks mate - now all I need is the go to go with the stop...
My hip pocket needs to recover from this little exercise first though....
Grant - I KNOW you want these brakes too...... Did you get the trimmer sorted?
Toeny - No worries - when I get the carback home and cleaned up - I will take some shots of the brakes and the interior when complete..... it really looks good in the flesh I am happy with the results. Next comp day is in 2 weeks - I have had a shakedown day at the track already - but my braking markers were WAY off..... so still plenty of scope there!!
Thanks mate,
