Interior:
When I changed the interior I started with making my own door panels in aluminum. Then i desided to buy som new seats, so I then bought some black Cobra Classic seats.
I have also done som more little things like changing the shifter and stuff like that.

i like the black door panels better, cos i think ali panels are for race cars.
but to each their own. the car looks cool though!

The reason that I made new door panels is because the black door panels was painted black, and didn't have a nice finish. And I also think it's kind a race thing, but I wanted to see how it's was going to look, and it didn't look bad at all, so at the time they are stil going to be there ;D

When the 2.165ccm engine went to be to expensive at the time to build, I got my hands on some parts to build a 1.835ccm engine instead. So hear it goes.
The parts I have got my hands on is cylinders, pistons, 40/44 Weber IDF and tops. all of these parts is going in to a modified stock 1600ccm engine case.
I'm all open for tips and tricks when this is my first try to build a engine.  ;D
