it will never look like that I promise

Still haven't made up my mind. My cousin has some pretty good photoshop skills, I'll ask him to mock it up for me.

Seats should be happening soon though

I couldn't muster the enthusiasm to do my speaker mounts in the cold and wind today so I upgraded my interior lights. I already had festoon leds in them but I wanted more light and to go to a warmer colour. Did this in the workshop so nice and toasty

This is the led festoon replacement I had, an improvement over standard but not amazing.

So I cut a piece of black perspex (badly) on the table saw and attached rows of led strip to it.

Then I trimmed the perspex on the staggered strips of leds to allow for the wiring and soldered it up (again pretty poor) but it all works and seems brighter in the day time

Will report back when it gets dark

I had it done at IRB developments but I believe synchro gearboxes did the rebuild

I'll have to dig the transfer box out as it's been in storage for a while now - I want to see what condition it's in before I give you a price. I know it's the original off my 90 and has only covered 60k miles
