Ah, but I would expect you to check your facts Jonny and do a more professional job, especially since it was to do with a Charger.

am i missing something here or does your car have no door handle and no holes to put door handles????

car looking great though

Nope you are correct. The door handles are gone as are the front and rear side markers, trunk lock and side emblems.

does look sleeker so how you get in then

Well there's a redneck way to answer that question but the more professional way is to activate the solenoid I have fitted in the doors by pressing the super secrect button hidden somewhere on the outside of the car. Or if the window is open just reach in and open it from the inside.

Will post stuff when there is stuff to post, still battling with the headliner and interior stuff. Brakes arriving early January then fitting them. It's a crap excuse but I just don't have much spare cash at the minute and there's a couple more things I need to buy to finish the job and I'm stuck at that point now. I can't carry on with much until I get paid and Christmas has cleaned me out a bit.

I think Santa is bringing me some new plug leads but apart from that I'm just tinkering. I've got my stereo and speakers to fit aswell before the carpet goes back in so I've got tinkering to do.

I'll keep you up to date.

Cheers for the interest.

Indeed those are good excuses. Enjoy Chrimbo Rich and go get leathered then battle with a vinyl headliner

Some minor progress today.

Finally recieved my fourth and final headlamp and fitted it.

Also spent the day making a decent go of getting the headliner closer to finished, I hasten to add this is not finished yet but it's been ages since I posted anything so I thought I'd throw these up.

looking good mate i wouldent even think of trying to do the headliner and i bow down to anyone that does it for the first time [or just does it]

Cheers dude, the headliner was not fun or easy. My advice to anyone is either:

a: Don't bother and wear a baseball cap when you drive

b: Get a professional to do it

or c: Buy a car that already has one fitted(!)

It was hard work and a lot of swearing was involved. I also had the help of two other pairs of hands for applying tension and holding in place. A little blow heater or hair dryer comes in handy for heating the material so that once it is in place it cools and contracts into a smoother shape. I'm still tinkering with it.

On another positive note, my brakes finally turned up today. It's all go
