Got a few bits ready to go to the powdercoaters tomorrow.
Need to find a mint cream carpet and then I can finally get the cally interior out of the bedroom,
where it has been for the last 2 years and back in the car!


What parts are being powder coated? I've never had anything powder coated before... :think:

Why not consider getting a darker carpet instead of the cream?
I've seen pics of a Calibra that has cream interior, but with dark carpet
and it looked heaps better, and more user friendly... :think:

Wow... 2 years with the interior out of the car... :shock:

I doubt a dark carpet would suit that interior ...and as for "and more user friendly" it is a show car, not an everyday use car.

Think it has to be cream carpets like Fraz says its not an everyday car. So if anyone hears of any give me a shout please!

Dropped the bits off at the powdercoaters, should be ready before the weekend :D

Just started a list of things to do hope Steva has deep pockets!!! :lol:
