My names Ed, and I live in Barcelona, Spain. I am from the Republic of Ireland. I've been living here for 13 years. In that time I've had a number of cars.
First one I got a year after arrival was a '93 Prelude 2.2 vtec. After that I got a '00 BMW 318ci. I sold that to get back into university. So now I've got this 1996 GT. Its covered in dents and scrapes. Pretty tired looking. I want to make it look like new, improve it where I can and try to keep it as standard as possible. I'll be painting it black, and keeping the wheels as they are, just tarting them up a bit. All of this depends on my finances of course, so it'll be a slow process. Patience will be required. Lots of patience. This post has been edited by Edser: Jul 21, 2022 - 5:58 PM -------------------- |

I started cleaning the leather interior. Its pretty filthy. I don't think the previous owner cleaned them often - or at all!
These are the back seats, not so dirty really. The door cards were very clean too, not much to do there. The upper part of the door card is covered in leather with only the pocket and the handles not covered. The front seats are very dirty. I'll upload pics of those later. I need to get the drivers side bolster repaired. I haven't found and unwelcome surprises, so I'm still feeling pretty good about the whole thing. I'm still thinking about the new colour for the seats. I'm pretty sure deep red is the way to go. I don't think I can stomach this orangey tan colour. If it were a bit browner and paler, maybe.
