thats about as far as i have got for now, seats are at the trimmers having a minor bolster repair then they will be fitted.

new suspension is waiting to be fitted next week along with some red leather trimmed windscreen surrounds and a quilted red nakamae console!

same as this but in red! (my old one retrimmed)

Glad your across the pond. ;)
I have a 95M that is getting the same treatment.
Mine will have a AWR wide body kit though.
Just have to finish the other projects on deck first.

Nice, it looks as good as i thought.

What is the paint color?
I'm looking at BMW "Sparkling Graphite" for mine, and there also is a Lexus graphite that looks good.
Its gotta work with the LE interior though, so test panels will be shot.
