Sorry guys it has been all steam ahead. Garage space in Hong Kong is minimal. After we unpacked we had to pack all the stuff into a corner to give my friend room to work and then we had to ferry those smart bins back to my place and store them on my flat roof. It was pouring with rain at the time and the Type-R got hit by freak hail (or stones thrown up by the wind) which caused a load of paint chips on the hood and cracked the windshield in two places  Today the aerial went into the roof and we fitted the new suede headliner. Got the cage back in only to find it was hitting the vanity light (should have left the light out  ) Having already cut a hole in the headliner we had to shift it back extending the hole and then fabricate a bezel out of an old number plate to cover the hole in the liner. I think we did a pretty good job. Measured 10 times cut once and the bezel looks factory. Pictures. Yeah I know I will but honestly after almost three years on jack stands, I am embarrassed to show pictures of the car as it was this morning. Let me wipe the dust off and show a before picture before we start fitting more stuff. Tomorrow the C and B pillars go in. We fit the Alpine Controller into the headliner (subject to space) run the wires and then fix the roll cage in place. Then it's re-applying sound deadening, dying and fitting the carpet and then the seats. We will need to do some work on the door cards and rear parcel shelf but interior should be pretty quick (centre console aside - still working on that!)
Getting old sucks ... but it sure beats the alternative !!!
