Thumbs up to Gringo for even offering that.

Keep it up stevensimon! She's headed in the right direction.

got the stereo in too. put no doubts first album half way in the player so i could take a cool pic and it sucked the disk in. the eject button doesnt work. lol... i liked that album.

also, my stupid glove box latch fell off. broke the glove box lid in half to fix the latch. used some model glue on all the joints to try and put it back together. hoping it works. going to be tough finding a rhd lid in the states.

Finally matching seats and my glove box fix seems to have worked.



Anyone have a strut tower cover? I bought one but it was for the wrong side...

Steve-

I have a few. PM me. I might also have some extra glove box pieces. If you pay for shipping I'll just send you the piece to make up for the break pin snafu.

Traded my buddy wheels. These need work but better size and offset. Probably strip the chrome, polish the lips and powder the center.

Did you get the strut tower cover and more importantly did I send the correct side?

If you've got any extra plates I'd do it over. You'll probably be fine but if I had that in my car I'd always be worrying. Just don't give everyone one more reason to complain about reliability.

On the plus side, you don't have to worry about the bridge breaking.
