Parry_10 Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 nice work mate I think a nice flocked interior in black would look the nuts with that. Better get stripping it all apart again and taking that dash out;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may do the arm rests though, at a later date. Looks pretty good - although I'm not sure what colour the suedette is with the flash! Is it black or dark grey? It's dark grey Andrew, im moving the car out the garage today do I'll get some pics in the sunlight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge Posted September 3, 2012 Author Share Posted September 3, 2012 The guy who painted my car for me called over today. He's starting a show plate business up for his daughter and he's asked if he could use my car for his website and for promotion. So we pushed the car out the garage and fitted a custom plate to the front for a few snaps for his website. Whilst the car was out the garage, I took the opotunity to get a few pictured of the dash in the daylight. I'm still in 2 minds wether to do the top glovebox gauge pod, I'll ponder on it for a while. Anyways, what do you think?? Whilst he was here, I spoke to him about a couple of ideas I had for the engine bay whilst the engine was out. So he's agreed to have the car trailered over to the body shop once I pull the engine, for a couple of changes and to paint the bay again for me.

hodge Posted September 3, 2012 Author Share Posted September 3, 2012 Looks nice that mate! Personaly I would leave the glove box pod as it is or just do the whole lot I am going to do the top of the switch panel on the drivers door as it blends in with the dash panels, but I do t want to get carried away and make it look tacky.

hodge Posted September 4, 2012 Author Share Posted September 4, 2012 A few more parts arrived today. Last 2 sensors for the Syvecs, oil pressure and EGT, although in not happy about the colour of the EGT wire, they could have done them in white or black lol. And also 50 foot of 1" DEI Titanuim heat wrap for my exhaust manifold. I've got my downpipe wrapped in this and it's awesome stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hodge Posted September 5, 2012 Author Share Posted September 5, 2012 Had some spare time at work tonight, so I took my top glovebox panel in it retrim it. Here's how it starts out. I rubbed down the panel after removing the gauges, just to make sure there's no high spots. Here we go, all done Got everything nice and tucked in at the back too. I'll get it fitted tomorrow and see how it looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really looking forward to fitting this back it. It should finish off the dash nicely. Next job is fluids out the engine ready to pull it in a week or so.
