Thank you guys  :drinking:
The doorcards and armrest have not been finished yet but Del @ Optimus Trimmers is hoping to have them done over the coming weekend. I really can't wait to see them in the flesh and get it all home to fit.
I will compare the weight of the standard ED30 seats and the wingbacks when I get them back and post the results here  :happy2:

Went to Scotland yesterday to pick up my seats from Del



Started to fit everything today and have got these to upgrade to a ten speaker system



Didn't like the adaptors that I got so adapted the adaptors with better cable, left is how it came middle is modded and right is heatshrunk for strength

Been a bit busy but the interior is in except for the rear bench.  I wanted it re trimmed as per standard but using Nappa but Del has shown me his idea of where the red stitching should go that will match the red stitching pattern better on the front seats.  I have to give the guy props, it really will look excellent when all together.  he has my spare rear bench and is finishing it off so will be complete soon.

Front door speaker upgrade all installed - I now have a ten speaker set up  :happy2:


Passenger door done


Drivers door done


Sneaky peek of the seats fitted.  Once everything is back together I will take some proper pics (not with an iphone!!) and update this thread.  I really don't have the photography skills to do the interior justice so may get someone who knows what they are doing to take some pics  :happy2:

My battery is as old as the car and have wanted to update the battery for a while.  After advice from the battery thread on the forum I decided to go for a Bosch S5 007.  Not sure how I managed it but two were delivered to me so I have one for sale if anyone wants it? I also got round to getting a proper length of heat wrap as the stuff I had on before was left over from a previous project and wasn't long enough



I replaced my fog lights with projector type a while ago and put LED bulbs in but have never been happy with the light output.  After reading @v4rley review of the new Gen 3 Cree set up I couldn't resist any longer and ordered a set.  the origonals are on the left and the Gen3 Cree are on the right - bit of a difference!!


Old on right of pic and new on left of pic - not tried a night drive but even in the daylight the difference is outstanding.  I have corner lights turned on which is why I want better light out put - I don't drive with my fogs on all the time  :signLOL:
