Looks great except for the bonnet scoop, they really don't suit bugeyes as the scoops are too angular - great wheels though

Thanks Jon - agree regarding the bonnet scoop (I'll sort a replacement asap + stereo is cr*p and looks like something from 1983 ).

its pretty easy to be honest mated just takes a while, usual polishing time on the scoob is about 5 hours but thats once a month and normally building around 6-7 layers of polish on her, i hate dirty car and the blue on the scoob pops when its got a decent coating of meguires love juice on her

Thanks to the Scoobynet Parts Bin - scoop, grille and headlamps changed (not many £££s and I think in improvement)?

Looks good to me, top job.
I don't think the top of the
dash should be done in suede
because it would eventually fade
in the sun wouldn't it? Plus, how
far do you take it? If you go too
far then the whole car would be
covered in suede lol
