We used to do a lot of embroidered and printed apparel but do stuff mainly for the race team now but can always have our arms twisted
Will be doing the door cards and interior over the next couple of months, as I cant get a proper GT dash I will be doing a digital 6 pot similar to a GT one just to keep the essence.

Replaced the cruddy old interior light that disintegrated with a new LED unit, MOT booked in for Wednesday. Last few parts will be arriving Monday

Looks great! The carbon on the bonnet is a great idea. Which one did you use? The cheap one I used on my front spoiler looked really great when new but get dirt or polish on it and it's pants! So I need to source something better.

Thanks. Wanted a bit of a traditional look with a modern twist. Tried with a cheaper Carbon Fibre material that we had for something else and it was a disaster over the scoops, 3M was much better and easier. Will see how it fairs after a few washes and waxes!!!

Said I was going to drive the *Bleep* off of it and I did, engine expired today. Currently on life support but expect to switch it off sometime tomorrow pending heart transplant. Donor yet unknown.
At least I had a few days of fun, just wish I hadn't done the oil change, points plugs etc
Off to the workshop tomorrow to see what's what
