Sorry for late reply only just seen this! I've literally done nothing for mine other than find some oem mud flaps to replace mine literally 10mins away and some donor parts to fabricate the rear inner arches it's there at the minute they have just made a start cleaning off all underneath in prep nothing to exciting, I'm hoping to get over this week for some photos As for the wind deflectors I've never even seen them on a 5 door but I get your thinking regarding length

I'm really chuffed with the interior I was happy with the gt one and was going to get it retrimmed, then I got a message off trav asking if I'd like it just couldn't say no so the gt one is in storage for the time being its not as hugging at the gt ones but suits the car much better especially on the lowered rails they are just right

That's great with the decals I've got a couple of sets off ebay until they are on I have no idea what they will be like I may be in touch with you if mine look not to standard, Basically you probably have 2 of the most original silver SR's in the UK! Maybe keep using your black one for longer and keep them tucked up and when the day comes to retire it you have a choice then keep the black for spares, I've also got a gt interior and a 98spec and the gts are much more hugging they are so comfortable arnt they it's a tough one as your seats are in mint condition but as you know the gt sea

Look so much better now so simple to do aswell , are you getting any decals made up for this one I know I've said it before but such a great find also sounds like the best option taking the tte bits off the glanza rep

Yeah shame it's quiet if everyone on the Facebook pages logged on and commented just once a week I still feel this is the place for more depth info

They are sending pics I've asked them to as I want a folder of the resto from last June, they did the underside of my other car and sent progress all the way through

Huge progress mate can't wait to see this all back together now I do like that blue bit I'm so intruiged to see the black bodywork glad it not my decision to make

Great find, what's the plans then find the parts or just tinker and use daily

Indeed he is mate been a massive help on my build really sorted me out between him and pikey on some parts all the lads on here have been great alot quieter than the old days how do the new speakers sound?

Hard work finally paying off mate can't wait for the updates

Headlight covers as well how did you find this one

Ahh that's a shame mate hopefully you will be back soon to crack back on / drive it, been picking bits up for mine mainly spares off a tidy breaker car

Good progress I've met trevstar great bloke and very knowledgeable, interested to know how the front speakers sound as I'm wanting some for my SR restoration

Right then big things happening starting Monday next week if you have been following this thread you will know for those of you that havent a quick recap This was the first car I bought with my own money at 20 years old on 3500 miles always promised myself for for my 40th I'd give it a top to bottom (had it around 20years now) I've spent this year sorting the mechanicals out and the interior and if it wasn't for the lads on here I would of struggled you all know who you are! So now its time for bodywork The list New outer sills New inner rear arches New out

Yeah Trav excellent work as usual mate been busy haven't you
