The car is still in primer, I'm fixing the little things like the tail lights and repainting mouldings, bumpers and repairing the inside trim.

Being over 20 years old everything I remove breaks and it pisses me off.

yeh those little clips in the doors are really bad. i've replaced the clips in the boot trim with new generic ones, works a treat.

The car is coming along a treat!

Just one question though,

my trim is badly faded and I have spent a few dollars trying to get the right vinyl paint for the interior to touch it up, doe's anybody know the colour?

It's the grey or bone.

Don't bother trying to get a matching colour for a touch up, unless you want to spend a fortune in time and money on trial & error - far better to do entire sections. Which bits need touching up?

Mainly the door trims and the head lining.

Try a contrasting clour. No need to match.

I have already bought 6 cans of vinyl paint. The cap colours look correct but when ya spray either one of them, it's either to light or too dark.

Won't look nice in the car, especially different colours.

Trying to keep the stazz original.

Just pisses me off.

Re-doing whole sections (ather than touching up) is worth it.

That informationwas very useful, maybe it should have been moved to the technical section.

You'll notice that the tech sections is more mechanically orientated while body and interior section is more about visual (in most cases, non performance mods).

Then maybe the site could have a body and interior section?
