Started to work on the car and just get to know her better. In order to really feel like I own the car, I always like to take it apart.

Cleaned up the interior a little bit..
Image

piled the interior in the garage (unfortunately I don't have the money to replace all the old with new)
Image

Installed some new gauge overlays
Image

kinda started to do some work....

Reverse lights I have an idea for - another custom touch. I dont know if it will work out or not, we'll see.

Oh and by visiting, I mean visiting the car, before I bought it. Haha but thanks
