Some of my interior CF that I ordered in august finally arrived, 2 out of 9 bits aint bad....

Anyways, few pics, chucked it on the dash for a look, i reckon it blends well, the darker red was a good choice.
Wont be fitting this for some time, so back in the bubblewrap until then.







Bodykit should have landed in port yesterday.

Cheers

Man I really like what you have done with the interior. Mad props. That is the way to do a two-tone custom interior. All the ricer kids in the world that think rattle canning random parts give that fresh awesome race car look need to check this thread out.

Cheers man, trying to stick away from trends etc, thought about stickerbombing some pieces here n there, but in a years time that fad will be old and it'll be something else. 10 years time I still want want this build to look tidy

Sounds about like Alabama in may/june. It also doesn't get really hot here until around august. Late july through august, 100+ Farenheit in the shade with 60% humidity.

I really do like the leather wrapped console and dash though. I think I may borrow that instead of trying to track down an entire black interior. Just get whatever color and get it wrapped.

Hey all,

Instead of posting these updates over various sites, I'm now consolidating on a tumblr account
http://pandafc3s.tumblr.com/
Give it a couple days for me to upload all the progress so far, then I can get into the latest ****.

I've added a facebook like button on the page so you dont even have to keep going back there - nice n lazy

Ok so some updates
Big thanks to Landon (forum vendor) who has been shooting emails back and forth with me for a while now trying to get these pieces right. I couldn't be happier with them.
I recommend checking out his facebook page - http://www.facebook.com/3yo3yoyos to see his full range of work, some very cool stuff.

Here are my 2 custom *****








More updates soon

They're just sitting in there at the moment, going in the spare room until I'm finished with everything else in there, very happy with them.

Not a bad build-up. Has a very... Mini-truck type feel to the interior. I'm not a fan of the front bumper, but I am in the "purist" exterior type of group here haha.

Whats the color on the exterior? Looks similar to the factory Claret Mica color.

Gotta hand it to Shine, their stuff just fits perfect, a little bit of heat gunning and this will be right to fix off.
