Looks like you've been spending your money wisely :spoton:

Are you going to get the rear seat trimmed to match the buckets? That would really set the interior off.

Looks good Sarsha!

Sweet, that should look great. You should try and get some pink/red harnesses for the racing seats too :stirpot:

looking good, nice tuff hatch you got there. just letting you know that i have a BRAND NEW est of red 3point harness's if you were interested in them. i got them for my LH but i didnt realise that they had to be mounted to the parcel shelf and i dont wanna loose my 5 seat capacity.
but yeah, the hatch looks great.
