Finally back in the country after being away for a while with work...

But good news is some meaningful updates.

Car was finished today at the trimmers.

Inline with the smooth theme of the car everything leather wrapped with no screws or studs.

Rear seat over the tubs, double stitching to accent and a bit more bolstering than the original seat came out with.

3 point inertia reel belts (all brand spanking new out of a VE commodore) built into rear seats.

Love the door trim, if only I could have also had no door handle....

OK a couple of major milestones...we are moving rapidly to rego.

First up, car was fired up last week for the first time.  I was overseas so wasn't here for it, but popped in today and had em fire it up for me.

She won't sit this low when done (as much as I would love it to), at this height the front is about 1 inch from the ground).  Looks fricken awesome !!!!

Bumpers and grille in.  Note the bumpers are smoothed and tucked way way into the body.
