I'd want a stronger roll cage...

[Scottie22]

Not sure about a roll cage but I think you would need a cage to put the wife in when you tell her you've bought another car :-)

[WorldClassAccident]

Leather hasn't been shrunk to fit yet on the doors and there will be a panel added to cover the modern swithces but you get the idea hopefully.






I like the new door panels as they remove all the modern molded plastic and the way the retrimmed carpet edged have piping that matches the trim etc

I might look at getting the seat re-trimmed but really one some better bucket seats as the standard BMW one are for arses even wider than mine

[landmannnn]

What a difference, you must be chuffed to bits.

[WorldClassAccident]

not sure it is as good as my clock...

;-)

Yes, very happy so far

[Scottie22]

It does look nice, BUT the clock is sorely missed!

[WorldClassAccident]

Just picked it up from the trimmer.







Nice details like a zip to be able to adjust the handbrake without taking the console out


And bi-fold doors on the secret panel

[Jaguartvr]

How about a nice kitchen clock that you could hang on the centre console?
One big nail should be enough to hang it on.


Looks much nicer, you must be chuffed.

[WorldClassAccident]

I am chuff to nuts with it.

Little things like they offset the gear stick gaitor so when it is parked it looks like a manual left in 1st gear, or the zip on the hand brake or the way the floor carpets are also edged in leather and they line up with the leather coming down from behind the seats or the leather collars around the roll hoop or the...

You get the picture

[Scottie22]

Looks really nice WCA!

Shame about the secret panel not being secret any more......:-)

[WorldClassAccident]

Shame about the secret panel not being secret any more......:-

Maybe I should stick a big clock over the front of it?

BTW my quarter lights are on the door and work fine :-) :-)

[Danny_HUFC]

Looking good nick. I think a nice chrome/stainless rear view mirror would top the job off!

Now it is looking pretty I am guessing she has an eye on it!

[WorldClassAccident]

She does like it much more now but she doesn't drive. That is the problem when I try to explain the need for a fourth car

The Maserati symbol in the wheel needs filling in with paint to make stand out

I quite like it subtle. It is funny when people are trying to work out what the car is. I was sat outside a coffee shop with the car parked near by listening to three blokes discussing what it was.

Lots of pointing, teeth sucking and guesses like Jag, TVR, Ginetta. The were peering inside and you could see the moment when one of them spotted the emblem. He stood up, stepped back from the car and said with great authority - If you look at the front and those side grilles you can tell is it an old Maserati. His mates said it wasn't and they started looking again and he made a big show of staring inside and suddenly spotting the emblem. He then said loudly - I was right, it is a Maserati, there is the logo!

Made me smile

[Scottie22]

WCA hearing you say you like things subtle, is a bit like Lady Gaga
saying she is shy and withdrawn..............
