Right! Collected the car, no pics as I forgot my camera!!

interior wise, its got a mk2 column without the ignition barrel, and the ignition is currently on a homemade dash, I'm guessing it should be in the switch panel? Should it have rocker or toggle switches?
What would the headlining be? Frame or bars?

I've decided on aqua so black or navy trim, what would the carpets be??

The engine would be black yes? All over or bare alloy gearbox/fly housing??

I've got some dunlop reverse rims, in silver, so I'll use those, and I'll make some of my cosmic arches.

Any input and any more lovely pictures would be great!

For Aqua with either Black or Navy trim the carpet should match whichever trim colour you go with ;)

Let's see some pics...!

Ted, early mk3's retained the lock in the switch panel. Switches should be rockers, headlining bars.

I thought it was right, with a sort of mk2/3 crossover... as my '71 mk3 has the single stalk column with the ignition on the top, but this is a '70...

I'll get some pictures on Monday!!

You will all laugh at the bodykit it has on! Which is another reason I had to buy it, so it didn't get spoiled by some youth!


Marvelous!

I'm excited!
