Banpei's two door panda Trueno from Japan

I have moved the first batch of stuff from my current garage box to the new one, and it's my wheel collection. I think I will need at least four more rides to move all the stuff I have in there.

I have also been busy with repainting some interior parts on the driver side. For example, the driver's seat plastics:


Other parts repainted are the door pocket, window winder, inner doorhandle pocket, the two scuff plates and the cowl side trim.

Before any keen-eyed members comment that my seat adjuster handle is missing: yes, I forgot to paint that one, so that's still in progress.

Compare that to the left side:

I now have a two-faced car: one side old and scruffy, and the other side nice and bright!

Having those old fasteners side by side with the new ones. Probably, these have never been replaced. When the car received a respray, they sprayed over the old ones that are stuck on the door... And they are very difficult to remove from the door as the plastic just tears when you try to pull them with a set of pliers.


The result is now a door trim that is once more flush with the door:
