Nice work. I'll be interested to see what you do with the parcel shelf - mine is knackered and I need to make a new one.

My wheel arch covers are pretty gnarly, but I decided I'd leave them alone due to laziness etc.

Impressive work Mark

Nice Mark - is it any quieter?

You do need to sort that upholstery out....letting the interior down now...be good to get them Fezza seats in!

Thanks guys. Jamie I've looked at the parcel shelf - not too bad a job I think. It's all gluing and stapling. I'm doing that once I've fitted the other side

The vinyl costs very little and is stretchy enough to move it about a bit

Using the existing carpets as patterns, I cut new ones and edged them using my 62-year old singer sewing machine

....as you do! Great update Mark and nice work, you're a true polymath!

Thanks Nige.

Machine was £40 off eBay and is a thing of beauty. Found this guide to edging online

It's quite easy really. I stressed over a couple of the complicated bits, but then when I looked back at the original carpet it wasn't really any different to what I'd done

Is there anything you can't do Mark ..



I bet your a very considerate lover as well !

[jamie]

Superman is looking like a considerate lover, too.

He's not, he's actually quite rough and selfish. It's all about him

That's because you didn't pre arrange a safe word Thomas
I find aubergine works well

[sladey]

But say aubergine at the wrong time and I guarantee your eyes will water

Thanks Chris. Not sure on those headlights - they look like they've opted for wiper OR light, but not both. Were you thinking of them on one of yours for the fog lights?

I think I saw a video showing the light on and the wiper working...somewhere

...just thought that the round part of the motor was crying out to line up with the HID projector on your new lights.....(and then render the benefits useless )


Not being serious, get back to stitching
