glad you lot noticing the little touchs, didnt think anyone would
as for the red paint i cant see it untill i take pictures of it???? never noticed that at all it must be the flash enhancing it?
as for the interior not building it to be a standard car building it to as id have wanted it to be factory built!lol
i know what u mean about the interior i just think the grey is very dated, wont be any grey or cream in sight when ive finished it

think its the flash mate, usualy the camera makes the car look better than it is, this time worse tho!Lol
as for the dash mat that needs some back to black, nice touch though and a genuine part!

Exactly its not that bad really. You are doing the majority of work yourself so little or no labour costs.
People go and spend 10k+ buying a Ford Focus but that doesn't mean they are loaded

was having a lazy day when the leather that we ordered for the interior trims and roof liner got delivered,
so the gf ripped it open and set to work on them,
managed to do 4 to front to back, have the 2 middle trims and the roof liner to do but that will have to be tomorow
shes done a cracking job, will look great with the leather interior!
enjoy..........
