Well I have finally mastered this bloody computer I think. Here are a couple of photos of my NA. I have had it for about 3 months.
1989, originally silver but resprayed in Audi silver, a much nicer silver I think, you can only tell it is different when it's alongside a factory silver 5.
Modifications.
Front tower Brace.
miata cold air intake.
boot spoiler
full leather interior in tan.
Seats re bolstered to be more comfortable.
One off custom style bar made out of oval stainless tube.
Custom console in leather, with drink holder and 3rd instrument at the top. wood panels on the face and around the gearstick.
Custom one off stearing wheel ,out of marine grade alloy and Jarrah.
New wheels , not the lightest but I like the look of them, 16x7 with 205x45 tyres.
new NB suspension, kyb agx with king lows.
mohair soft top.
Still to come over Xmas.
A new spray job, the same colour, but I am adding a modified racing beat type 1 nose and modifying the rear bumper to take a twin exhaust system.
A new full exhaust system, headers to muffler.
full detail of the engine bay.
I am in the marine game so the interior ,style bar and paint job cost nothing, just pulled in a few favors. the steering wheel I made myself. I know its not entirely legal but is much stronger and better quality than a Nardi or Moto Lita.
I hope these photos are accessible, if not I'll get someone to put the link up for me.
comments would be most welcome.

very, very nice NA there. it's quite unique and the interior has a really nice look to it, great combo of colours too!

Stunning interior, you should be very proud.

geez that's different. good on you for doing something like that, it is very original. makes a nice change to the normal "just add chrome" interior that a lot of people go with (not that there's anything wrong with that).

Excellent job..

Interior reminds me of a late 60's planked skiboat...

Tezzax5, am going for that retro 60's look

That is so well done. I am sooooo envious.
Great work. I really like what you have done with the tombstone and the door cards/trims.

A lot of work in that centre console but looks really good..best customised interior I've seen!

Normally I hate custom interiors and reckon they look pox, but bloody hell your's looks AMAZING! Looks like it came out of an oldschool Ferrari or Aston, beautiful!

Where is your thread Frank?

Grump - nice work - can't wait to see it this weekend (and you thought Dodgy day was beyond you).....

Frank - I'm sure I speak for may of us around here when I say F^&% OFF you troll.

Alternatively - put up and shut up - your choice - that is of course unless your car is fitted with either a Veilside kit, or a Commonwhore body kit.

well thats what i think sir,im sure grump put flower all time into it and bought it like that, when someone asks for comments they have to take the good and the bad [/quote]

Thats funny as in weird because when I looked at Grahams car it had nothing like that done to it, maybe frank the wank can explain this strange event to me.

When you have Grump's abilities, then and only then can you make a comment like that.

Job well done Graham!!! Unk would be proud of ya!

all he has done is the center console and now he is some what of a god?????
oh sorry he screwed that trashie lip on the boot and bought some new wheels WOW he is a god.

And what has Frank the Wank done?

Frank walked in and made about 5 posts, all of which showed what a total c0ckjob he is.

Now Frank - why don't you hop on back across to www.notalentloserwannabes.com and find yourself another hero to worship.

Mods - can we ban this troll now?
