I still have to install the door glass and front grille but yesterday's weather was too nice to work anymore so we went for the first ride since a major cosmetic renovation. She fired right up after sitting all winter and ran like a champ! Here she is on first hitting the sunlight.

And she is lovely indeed.
 
What a horrible color.... I love it! It's actually so old-school, it's cool now.
 
hmmmm... maybe that's the appeal for citron for me and my car... the little bits I see I think looks horrible, but yet, I still finding myself wanting to have the whole car in its original color....


Great looking car! sure is a beaty, but you had a blast drivin' it around!
 
Nice car!
 
Great work, Jack! You've made a lot of UT fans very happy!

I'm not generally a band wagon hopper on'r.......

But that color is cool......Nice B
 
Despite the color I am absolutely drooling over that picture. Steenkin gorgeous.
 
Was hoping it worked out. Any problems installing it? I'll be putting put a similar set in the TR8 before too long (I hope!)

The un-molded tunnel piece was kind of a pain and wanted to wrinkle a lot. I finally got it flat and stuck down with lots of 3M contact cement. The bias cut on the tunnel doesn't show at all because my car is a later model with a console. I am attaching a photo of how it turned out.

That looks VERY nice! I've been back-and-forth over carpet for the one here. That inspires me.
 
Very Nice!
 
Very nice, indeed. Glad it went together as well as it did.
