Re: My nuwe speelding
Dirk your progress is awesome. Well done! I'm rather jealous!
I agree with Grant, watch out for the plastics and rubber around the gearlevers. When I did my carpets and removed it I had to take quite some extra time getting everything back where it should be!

- partially fitted the washing lines.
- had an alarm system with central locking fitted.

- had Dyna Mat fitted on floor of vehicle as well as doors for better sound and heat protection.
- all 6 door panels re-upholstered.
- Jump seats obtained.
- Electronic ignition fitted - genuine Nissan.
This week:
