@ Vinay....thanks ...but is far off from a bullet yet.....plan is to get it running about with its stock 1100cc engine while I get bust with my 1330cc A+ engine build.
@ Enzio..In order to get the car started, I bypassed the heater unit and connected the heat valve in a loop ...the 8mm pipe line is the temporary fuel line to get the car started.

Back to the build.
After the Exhaust shop is was time to get the Wiring, rag top sunroof and hood liner on.
Wiring loom was stripped down, all wires check. then re-tapped.

Love the full length cloth sunroof on these cars. So retro and so cool.

Then came the time to start sorting out the interior.
Started out with the back parcel shelf.....newly carpeted back board with some foam for sound proofing and a set of Sony 6 X 9 speakers.
Then I installed the Bottom and top Dash, which was covered by Deano form KZN.

top and bottom dashes are in
then it was time to start with making up the brackets for the Honda Civic seats, that was custom covered with the MiniMad logos on them.
Fuel Tank and MK1 number plate holder...primed and painted

Stitching on the dash looks cool!

Love your seats. Honda Civic seats? Any leg room in the back? Who did the upholstery?

Embroidery looks very cool!
