listy Posted August 1, 2012 Author Share Posted August 1, 2012 It's very patriotic though. Once I get my hands on a decent sewing machine the door cards will be changing to red and white too. As all the interior lights are red, seems a good colour scheme to me. Plus everyone always uses one colour for the dash. And I like to be different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wile e coyote Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Think you need to do the top bit also but looking great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxluc Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 That looks great. You did an amazing job: well done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MannDuo Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 How much did the material cost by the way? As if it's cheap enough I will definitely go this root rather than painting. Also, was you sneezing in the second picture? Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listy Posted August 1, 2012 Author Share Posted August 1, 2012 The stuff I got first time was only about £30 for enough to do the dash. It was ok stuff, but only got it to practice with. The stuff I used in the end I got for I think around £80 for enough to do 2 dashs, but used pretty much all of it. If anyone wants to do it themselves, give Dave (authorised hobbyist) a pm. He was a great help and full of good advice for me. Also, the dial cluster surround and ignition surround were the hardest parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 If you do the top I think it will look lush dude. Looking good though. One question... what the hell are you going in the mirror of one of the photos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

listy Posted August 1, 2012 Author Share Posted August 1, 2012 It was vinyl rather than fabric mate. I'll dig out the link when I get home next week. I think the stuff you use would be better for it, but being vinyl, the heat gun allowed me to stretch it a fair bit. The ignition took a lot of peeling back, reheating, and re positioning but got there in the end. Cheers for all the advice and help Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

listy Posted August 3, 2012 Author Share Posted August 3, 2012 Great skill, not a fan of the colour scheme (or fire extinguisher) The extinguisher was in the car when I bought it and just havnt got round to removing it. As for the colour scheme, each to their own. I like it, so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
