Glad its out of your way now. Shame it doesn't sail for a while. The boat it will be on is scheduled to arrive on dec 17th, but I don't expect that will be met. If it arrives before xmas I'll be happy. Best present I'll ever receive I would think. Picking up some interior bits on tuesday, so will post some pics for you chaps.

EdMorris Posted November 19, 2008 Author Share Posted November 19, 2008 Picked up some of the interior bits yesterday. Came out beautifully and the colour is superb, a bit darker than the pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdMorris Posted November 19, 2008 Author Share Posted November 19, 2008 The seats, door cards, rear quarter panels and boot panels are awaiting Vince to work his magic. Will have new carpet too. G and N have finished the re-spray save for the side skirts, which I have exchanged for Ridox ones. I'll be there on Friday, so will take my camera for the all important photo's.

cowboy bebop Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Wow, that's fast work. It took me about a year to get my interior wrapped. Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdMorris Posted November 20, 2008 Author Share Posted November 20, 2008 Very nice, very orangey, so what is the paint colour? is it a dark cherry, or a burnt orange? The paint is a dark reddish brown. There are some photo's earlier in thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdMorris Posted November 20, 2008 Author Share Posted November 20, 2008 Looks very very nice matey! Would also like to know who did the retrim and if you dont mind me askin, what sort of price they charge? Its pricey, but the work is superb. The dash has no seams at all (except on the ends), even though its a complex curved shape. So far its cost me, wait for it, £2700. Ouch! I must be mad. I should also state that the leather is of a high standard. That price is for the main dash, centre console, scuff plates and bits by feet, steering cowl, and a pillars, all in leather. Dash panels have been done in alcantara. For me, the inside of the supra is the only bit that looks dated, but now it will look and feel and smell like an Aston. Lovely. Vince is doing some nice detailing on the seats and door cards that I've asked for and I hope it comes out well. I'll update you as soon as he's done.
