Dash is finally finished

All the seats are in and I finally got a chance to put back the silver looking trim around the dash panels. It now looks complete. (And comfy too!)

Front seats fixed as well

As you can see the front seats were stitched together as well where they'd split. While the covers were off I took the opportunity to to fix the springs and get the reclining action going again. Seats work as good as new

Seats fixed

The back seats were cleaned up, restitched were they'd come apart and put back in. You can see the white stitching where they've been fixed. Not the prettiest, but bums won't be going through them any more. As for the sewing, done at the kitchen table on Pegs old Husqvarna.

Carpet has arrived

Carpet in the front! Took a bit of trimming and modification to get it in but it came up well.
Also fixed the centre console and upholstered two panels on the top. The one that goes around the gear selector and the one on the lid in the centre.

Interior Progression

Some carpet in the boot! AND. . . . . . . .

Progress has been made

This is a shot along the way, sometime in November I think?? I had the original rims sand blasted and powder coated as previously mentioned. Thanks to Mick at Chandler Engineering over in Tullamarine. Was that an add???? Oh well he's a great guy and did a fantastic job on the rims. I've left the hub caps off and put chrome nuts on the rims. I might leave them like that for a while. Looks a bit ol' school.
