Until the thub returns, I use the time to work on everything else:

Door cut-outs are to small and don't look that good:

As I decided to remove stereo I will increase and change layout of the opening. Here is the result of about 20 versions I created and compared:

Today I received new rear light housings. I decided to buy aftermarket plastic ones, lighter and cheaper then stock. My old ones had almost no more shiny chrome inside. I spray-painted them a few years ago with chrome effect, but it did not last long and was not really shiny either...

Just saw the price increased. I paid 125 GBP each, now they are 135 GBP

Made some molding tools to cut the foam panel with my homemade cutter

http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1328737433.jpg

It's a simple construction with a hot wire (made for this application) using a power supply (not on pic). Costs about 100 USD all in all

http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1328737673.jpg

And that the result, a nice moulding that is pretty precise to use for laminating

Man, you are amazing with your patience for drilling.

I think you need a therapist - like now! :p

BTW: that steering wheel looks like a Mod 7 but in leather rather than swede/alcantra . . .
