engine is in up and running, only problem is there is no speedo drive, and the one from my x16xe doesnt fit, so the eml tends to come on quite a lot, should have it all sorted on friday hopefully, will polish the rocker cover and get it looking nice first :)

cheers pal, ill get a picture tonight when it goes dark, was planning on doing that anyway :) looks a tad silly because the white sidelights i ordered don't fit, well they do just really slack. even tried bending the wires out but still nothing, so theres a slight halogen tint haha. cant tell too much as they hid's drown them out quite a lot, makes a big difference though :)

cleaned and conditioned all the leather, managed to get the front seats in and the rear bench you sit on is just plonked in at the moment, a bit unsure how i secure the 2 pieces of the back rests of the rear bench though

yeh i will do, pretty much immaculate to be fair. have been waiting for months for a good set to come along though, yeh just trying to find the switchs and facia thing to change for the original. cant seem to find them anywhere! i only had a quick look at the back, but before it went dark but i noticed the original sport seats central hinge that secures the two back rests in place has a completly different left and right hinge in the calibra seats for them to attach to, have to try and figure it out tomorrow after work
