The new Ford mags wheels make the spitfire look right at home parked amongst today's cars. The front end modification make it look more sporty in my opinion. Will start driving it for the first time later this week. Still a few odds and ends to do on the inside.

Well I installed my new lug bolts and wheel adapter today without any problems. I replaced the original lugs bolts (3/8) to larger 12 x 1.5 . With the adapters installed I can now install my 15 inch Ford Focus 4 x 108 bolt rims.

I had to replace the old door panels because of rain damage. I made new ones out of maisonite or hard board. I had so much trouble with the original clips that I used black large head screws. I also replace the door handle grab for a half moon chrome handle from Home Hardware.

The old tunnel cover made from press board was very ratty so I purchased a fiberglass replacement. I had to cut out the whole for the shifter and the glued carpet to it.

Well I did not like the fitted carpets that came with the car so I purchased some new automotive carpet. It took about 4 meters to do the floors and transmission cover. I glued them in certain areas to hold them down. I ran new speaker wires and antenna wire under the carpets at the same time.

Decided to put a sound dampener and heat resister to the floors its the Canadian version of Dynamat called B-quiet. I did the bonnet,the the firewall, the floors, and the tunnel cover for the transmission.
