It was always my plan to get the car on the road and enjoy it and then over time start adding more posh bits.

Well ive had a good year enjoying the car but in the new year drive out i decided that the time had come to start applying poshness, starting with heating!

Ive been building a stock of stuff from autojumbles and fleabay over the years including some of those amazing air vents used by RR and Bentley as id won the centre console of a Bentley Continental for next to no money a few years back



But when i got it down from the attic in the garage i was stunned to see that one of the vents the chrome was peeling already! On a 10yr old Bentley vent! Not cortina or Triumph. Bentley!


Anyhow.... despite niggling it was time to dig out all the bits and see what i had


(Ignore the alternators!!)

Then i bit the bullet and tried to figure out where to fit things. After a lot of pondering i dug out the hole saws and went for it




Scary, but with the vents roughly screwed in place im very happy with how this is looking
