Like the title says.

I'm still working on the calliper issue but in the mean time I'm finally installing that nice trim kit I have had in a box since 2009. Reason for such a long delay???

BECAUSE RACECAR

So I started out by stealing an empty room and laying all the pieces out. The cat thought this was great till I booted her out of the best sun room during the afternoons and closed the door.

Then I removed all the very parts (seats and other bolted down hardware) and cleaned the floors.

The crumbled seat foam is actually very sticky.

And then set about laying pieces into place.

Just about every panel will need to be edited/trimmed to fix properly. That is due to things like different transmission, extra electronics and rear cargo shelf.

The wheel well pieces will take the most time. With the shelf and roll bar needing a lot of fit checks and small cuts.

Took my sweet time since I don't want to make any mistakes.

A few pieces will simply be glued in but I am tempted to buy some extra snaps and make the vast majority removable for cleaning and maintenance.

I had them do the colour trim for the inside of the car as well.

Door panels, seat covers and so on.

Caliper goes to the machine shop tonight. I was on vacation last week and really did not feel like dealing with it.

That said we might try and make the car show this weekend. So time to haul azz.

If I can get the carpet sorted tonight and have a the brakes back in the car by Friday. Ya never know.

Andre.
