i'd say a light grey or cream as its a daily and white would be a ***** to keep clean.

blue and white allways went good together, az did blue and gold, but all depends on what theme you want to carry on on the inside.. lets say you want to keep the outside out and inside in, so then blue is out of the question, perhaps black with yellow or red two tone, (im eventualy gonna go black seats with white centres or reverse with blue stitching cus im gonna do a blue and black theme inside with few white bits here and there so im looking for seats to contrast and stand out a bit)

hehe were thinking along the same lines, only i was gonna either get covers for these seats, or get some random buckets prob of ebay and get retrimmed as i do not like the cloth hehe, although it would be MUCH better in summer over leather for short and or no tshirt haha :/ what i really want to do is weld the back doors shut and take out the rear seats all together so i can change a few subframes around ...

still stressed about the interior at the moment... in a bit of a pickle! lol

on another note,
do people think id be able to mod the sideskirts to flare out, and fill in the kit better? it might be a way easier option than replaceing the front bar, or the sides....
what do people think?

so i thought i might update the thread as its been a while...

ive got all the retrim installed into the car. ( front and rear seats)
ive re done the front doors and and im halfway through doing the rear doors.
ive converted the front doors to electric windows
ive converted the mirrors to electric.
im having a few issues trying to install the rear window motors, but i should have it sorted out next week.

im looking into finally doing the boot install properly. im getting 2x12in subs inverted in a nice classy install.
ive got a new front bar coing over from rupe soon. once it arrives im getting the car completely touched up and resprayed in either a pearl or some other sort of effect. (yet to decide)
and im getting superlows installed just after its painted to get it sitting nice and sexy. lol

an the future mods are:
re trim some more interior panels, carpet, roof linning and dash.
look into tidying up the engine bay and some more oooomph!

and start entering it into car shows!
all ford day is early next yr an i wanna trophy! lol
