Hi
yes I'm very happy how the interior turned out, I tried to get it similar to the original, but improve in some ways ie black carpets and lower door cards (hopefully this will not show dirty marks) I thought that the black piping would go well with cars theme.
I'll try and get some closer pictures of the rocker switch covers I made and then satin chrome plated them.
Tony.

How is your brother built? Long in the legs or torso? Skinny? Heavy?
I'm 6'4", long in the torso, and built a little heavy, and whilst the stock federal seats are OK for me, those Toyota seats look so good that I'm quite intrigued! Their greater adjustability, better head-restraint, and the heating are all appealing attributes. Am I correct to guess that they came from the most recent generation of MR2?

Woodie, can I ask what solution you used for the windscreen? We're getting the plastic trim on ours replaced, but like you I really dislike how it looks and would love a cleaner look. Thanks!
Car looks fantastic! Congrats after a multi-decade build, must feel great.
