lol,no it just stood in back of garage.engine put in ,new belt/pump etc,new clutch,had a mint se interior(blue n gray)but sadly i skipped it shame but nobody wants the cloth.i just tinker now and again,i sorted the engine loom etc last summer,put a p reg axle in ,put new dash and fuel comp in,bit of a half hearted restoration.
but now i have an se9 that needs constant care lol....not enough hours in a day at the minute.

disagree, it'd make the whole wheel look out of place.
all it needs is a few dash parts painted cream to bring the whole interior together with the steering wheel imo, then it'll look spot on
