New photos and comments from Fabrice...

The interior of the car is built and the original parts have been improved slightly.
The battery received electrical cables and some details are added.
The switches of the dashboard are added and ignition key is crafted.
The steering wheel photoetched is rounded, and a hub is added.
The seats are textured with two different varnish for unify shades of red and make it look more like leather.

I like Fabrice's interpretation of "improved slightly"...

This is a mighty impressive TR! :o)

The finish on the exterior is simply amazing...but I think the steering wheel, shifter and seats are rather "chunky" and could used some extra work, maybe a photoetched steering wheeel center would looked good.
