Its a bit slow of late...I've been making the AC wiring harness,it should be in and done this weekend[:p] The last of the welding will be done on the radiator this Saturday which will see it finally ready for painting...then its pretty much just the engine and trim to go

Hi Matt,

Its really very simple, Im using the interior fan +ve via a on/off switch to trigger the ac via an electronic thermistor from a CE Lancer. 2 relays, one for the compressor and one for the thermofan override. Thats basically it

Ok, this morning I had the last of the welding done on the radiator and the ac compressor bracket. The radiator can now be prepped for paint and the ac compressor bracket needs to be prepped for anodising. The worlds most expensive top radiator hose also needs to have the rest of the anodised colouring stripped then be polished

Cheers Cam

I picked up the front door trim material from the embroiders yesterday...the front and rear trims will hopefully be finished in the next fortnight[:p] This material will form what will be the background of the door trims and the inserts for the seats. The door trims will have a custom grey suede border/design overlayed along with the original door handles and window winder trims covered in suede

Cheers Chris Im suprised at how much better they are than I had expected. The trimmer that did the work is a perfectionist...I cant wait to see the seats done[:p]

The trims are now done and temporarily fitted!!!! The inserts are a bit darker than the pics show

Cheers Guys

I thought about power windows but couldnt fit aftermarket motors without having it look like an afterthought...so decided to give them a miss. Anyway, I need to keep the weight down somehow[:o)]
