Cheers all. Really appreciate the positive comments!

A few more pics to whet ones appetite:

New roof


Interior pics






Still a bit to do in the interior with the black plastics. I may yet have everything black retrimmed in black leather - undecided at the moment! I've also decided I think it needs a black carpet and mats as I reckon the biscuit carpet and beige mats make it look a little "messy" now with the brown and black flowing through the interior.

And a few pics just because!










I'd quite like to do a proper photoshoot at some point soon if anyone fancies obliging? ;)

Hi,
Did you recover your red leather interior or did you replace it if so are you interested in selling any of it?

Cheers

Hi, the red leather was sold and I took a standard interior in px which was then re trimmed as you see it

Outside just as classy as the inside.  if I could find a fault it would only be those cream pedal rubbers!

I agree! Thought they were a good idea at the time I fitted the lighter carpet. Thinking now, to make the interior complete the carpet needs to be black (or dark brown) and new pedal rubbers at the same time.
