Wheels refurb progress:
The fitment of the wheels:
Re-creating the correct centre caps along with a friend who runs a graphics business
Fun day out stuck on the motorway for hours after a bike accident. Fortunately no fatalities, both involved currently recovering in hospital:
Some of (not all of) the spares I need to sell to re-coup some cash...
My sport seats:
One bolster leather replaced:
One totally stripped down so it can be treated and dyed properly. The other is as stripped down as I can get it as it has been welded up in the past (common on these seats)
Also this sodding tail light seal was the cause of water ingress in the boot.
And I organised my spares and stuff.
New steering wheel:

Haaaaaaa.you got your whole mx5 engine inside the bottle?wheels looking good!
Sold some crypto which had rocketed unexpectedly compared to when I bought in, so increasing my budget for re-spray/bodywork considerably... Almost certainly going with a colour change to something a bit unusual / possibly unique in the UK.
Considerations include Mora Metallic Individual, and Kashmirbeige (available as an individual colour on the E30 Touring overseas, but not here) - As well as Alpineweiss II, and Lazurblau which were both OE option colours.
Also getting one sill and the rear arch re-done by someone who knows what they're doing.

Yep I know, windscreen stickers are one of my pet hates... Especially "BECAUSE -insert thing-" ones... Ugh.
Really not a fan of either of those. Prefer Kashirbeige and Luxorbeige which are both E30 colours. But not sure Luxor would look right on my car. It suits chrome bumper cars better.
But I shal browse the individual colour boooooklets later.
Quite like Midnight Blue @Cookeh . Not sure if it might be a bit dark though.

I think only if they're being pursued by lions.
Not if you aren't a great lover of red (me)
Quite like the colour they did the last one in. VW Indium Grey metallic.
Also Sparkling Bronze Metallic - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBuxjO-SeMI
