Our very own "barn find"...

[alfagtv58]

I won't be installing a radio, and I asked Sam to fill the antenna hole which was on the front left guard.  I think I'll fit a small ipod amplifier in the glovebox, but haven't got far with that thinking.

Have you seen the standard look radios with iPod connection, I like it.

Those look great, but I'd rather not cut my new wood trim for the dash.

Or for those that want navigation with an old look and feel:

(can be had without the branding but you'd need to add Australian maps...)

Now that looks the business....     The other retro ones are a) massively cheaper and b) look old enough not to get knocked off and c) are cheap enough that it doesn't matter if they do....    - but those porsche units..... shiny ...

I suppose though that next they will come up with a classic looking unit for your Iphone, Ipad, laptop or DVD player and screen, what next ??   WII in car systems so you can pretend you are driving

Has the trimmer got the car yet?

The car is indeed at the trimmers, I'm not sure how long he wants it for to install the headlining.

Last week I collected the bonnet, boot, and scuttle panel to bring home - promising Sam I would put them in a safe place.  Amazing how much space a car takes up when it's in pieces.  I wonder how long we can live with half our spare room filled with car panels and boxes of parts?  Surely no more than 2-3 years?

candy candy!

Why Evan, is the bootlid off the car ? I can understand the bonnet as the engine needs to go in but the bootlid ?

Front and rear glass cannot go in until the headlining is on - am I right ?

[Evan Bottcher]

Sam's convinced I would scratch up the doors putting the interior back in (he's probably right) so he wanted to take off the doors.  The bonnet is off to make it easier to fit everything in the engine bay.  I agree - didn't really need to take the boot off, but I guess it does no harm.

Correct on the glass.

[pancho]

But Sam himself is puting the doors back on when the interior is done - right !? (I hope so )

In the category of 'was I drunk when I bought this?'

Started to fiddle with the dashboard timber veneer...

[Evan Bottcher]

Fitted the small veneer sections to the dash.  Fiddly to cut holes for the bulb holders.  I like my dremel!

[Evan Bottcher]

This badge has sat on top of our fridge staring at me for six odd years until I fitted it tonight.  The new dash veneer looks fantastic.

Nice Evan - looks like you've got a really good fit on the glove box lid as well. 

[pancho]

yeah, looks like paying attention in woodwork classes paid off Evan! This car is going to look awesome at this rate
