Bit quiet at the minute. James is getting ready to move house which will be taking up most of his time. He'll then have his own shed to work in which will make things easier for him. He's only got a damp basement to work in at the moment which isn't pleasant or healthy to work in. Just hope he's not swapping that for a damp shed!

I'm in the process of buying and watching a few items, none to do with the engine so will probably just be stored for now. One thing I have bought is a pair of chrome bumpers which arrived late last week. Although they're repro's they're of very good quality and I managed to get them for a pretty good price too, so we're happy.

I've been working on ideas for the interior, although still not sure which direction to go. The angular shape of the car limits the options. Using a design with loads of curves is probably out, so that cuts options down by about 99%! Not been wowed by any Golf interiors and interiors from other cars are full of curves, so not a whole lot to get inspriration from. Had a couple of fairly mad ideas (mad as in wacky not the stupid slang term) but not sure whether they'll work.
