Here's how the EA looks now. It hasn't changed much visually since February (when I last posted photos of it), but it's had a few mechanical upgrades, including extractors, high flow cat, and EF thermos. Visually I've just added the XR lip spoiler since then. I did a terrible job of painting it, but further down the track I want a respray anyway.
The engine bay is still ugly

Haha. Interior's staying as is. All the interior changes have been subtle (except for the change from auto to manual), but just make it look a lot tidier. It's got the EBII climate control and trip computer, ED Ghia leather wrapped steering wheel, ED interior plastics (except for the upper B-pillar, due to the different seatbelt locations), and EL Ghia kickpanels. I must admit it's a very photogenic car. The paint is certainly not perfect (particularly the stuff that I painted!) and it's got a few small dints here and there.
As for the engine, I'm probably just going to run it into the ground before an AU engine will take it's place.

The EBII-ED had lighter grey plastics. I replaced all mine because the EA interior C-pillar trims all go flaky and faded. The A-pillars all had broken clips too. You'll see in my interior shot that the upper b-pillars are a completely different grey to the rest of it. I can get away with 2-tone pillars because of the 2-tone seats. The reason for this is that the EBII-ED front seatbelts are mounted about 5cm higher than EA-EB1, so I had to retain the EA upper b-pillar. I also had to modify the c-pillar trims slightly, due to the wires for the rear demister going through at a different spot.
Here's pretty much everything I replaced, except the kickpanels. So sill panels, pillar trims, rubbers, grab handles, the trims around the roof, even the seat bases!

Nice work Dezza !
Must admit, I haven't seen yours with all its new bits - the kit and SVO bits make it stand out a little more than the usual suspects.
Kudos

| Thanks mate. I've always preferred the darker interiors too. People have told me I should put an ED Ghia interior in, but I prefer this one, plus for an 18 year old interior, it's still in good nick. No rips, no stains, it's doing well.
