A pic from the side with the BBS wheels and one pull-out style door handle on it. I got the door handles off Ebay from china for 20 bucks! and they're awesome. They weren't quite right though, had to modify the key locking mechanism to stop them from going over-centre and jamming. But hey.. 20 bucks!

Doing the hood lining.. My old girl made it. She did quite a few in the past on beetles when her and my old man were restoring them. Not bad for a Janomie(not sure how to spell it) sewing m/c. Surprisingly fitting the lining was relatively easy, just start at the back and work your way forward.

We re-did the rear seat too, it didn't come out too perfect though.

In the shed at home.. Not finished but i wanted to drive it.

Designed some BBS wheel centre decals and got a mate in town (with a $40000 mimaki sticker printer) to make some stickers for me.

So that pretty much brings you up to date.

Since then, ive knife edged the crank


I've finished the door trims- By the way, GLDGTI made the cards for like 120 bucks, and they fitted very well, so thanks dude! I covered them in black velour with 3 simple seams to break them up a little and they came out brilliant. Very happy with the end results.



All the exterior is finished now too, and i put FK m3 style tails on it.. They look hot with the white. Its also now got clear front indicators.
