Been a while since I updated as iv been doing lots of bits and pieces and taking pics as I go along.

Firstly I replaced the door seals, including the rear doors, new seals



Fitted





Old ones were split in various places





Tip: you can reuse the rear door seal for the bulkhead/bonnet seal if yours like mine doesn't have one



Next up was to recover the front headlining, removed



Stripped the old stuff off



Bought some black alacanara type stuff off ebay and covered it



also sprayed the visors black





I won a 3 piece headline set off ebay, as I didn't have a piece for the rear roof section



I will cover the rear piece when iv ordered some more material

I made some side panels out of plywood and covered with some plastic vinyl textured stuff and also sprayed the bare green metal with black texture paint

Just got the one side done so far



Covered and put in the rear lining piece



Should all come together nicely when I get the rear roof section covered and in

Another batch of updates

Sprayed the door frames from green to black





No more green on how when doors closed now



Coloured the door cards black too, this was using weird vinyl paint from Halfords that dyes the plastic rather than covers it like normal paint, first coat



Couple more coats and a before after pic



On the car





Then covered the rear section





Fitted pics, with the second courtesy rear light installed too







quite difficult taking pics of dark interiors clearly
