lookin pretty good so far, not too keen on the all black interior with the odd bit of gray or blue here and there. cant wait to see it when you finish it in black and navy blue.
keep up the good work. |

Cheers guys. Interior is fairly patchy at the moment. But it's so flippin hard finding time whilst doing year 12 at the same time. Expecially with the subjects Im doing.
I've already fibreglassed the screen bracket into the centre console. Very simply though. I don't mind how it turned out. It'd be too much of a fiddly job trying to get it looking really pro so I reckon I'm just gonna leave it more or less as it is. I don't mind how it turned out. Not bad for a one day job I reckon.
And the boot install after one day I'm pretty proud of as well Carpeting is going to be a b**ch. I got some nice velour black... I like black I guess  ...

Dark tint is a must... I LOVE gunmetal Falcons as well... thus I own one. Bonnet paint is starting to fade though 
Call me an idiot, but, what are clear repeaters? I could just google it and find out for myself but I've gotta go to work |

Nice ride....the interior needs a clean and the floor matts mmmmm ugly I suppose is the nicest thing I can say....the rest seems pretty cool.
Here is some cool floor mats in my XR, they are custom made you can have any writing you like and were not that expensive, always get comments about them

Thanks mate, that was probably the hardest part... converting an AU shifter for an EF isn't the easiest task like I initially thought.

The main reason I didn't mould it around like that (apart from the fact that I'm lazy) is so I had easy access to the LINE IN RCA cables on the back of the headunit. They are neatly hidden and out of site but very easy to get to so I can hook up mp3 players and crap.

I see, it's all so clear to me now  I will look into them. Where do you get them from?

Already purchased one.
Getting it fitted and painted is next school holidays job... Its a real b**ch trying to study and do well when all you really wanna be doing is working on your car...
