This may be the last couple of updates of dystopian 2020 as after this weekend not having anywhere to store the better of the best trim parts I have accumulated I thought it might be best to screw them back into the car itself then cover up ShiteyWobstang for its winter sleepies
So I screwed back in the original rear interior screen surround,side headliner trims and B post covers.
The C post covers disintegrated shortly after the car landed in the UK and I haven't had any since as did the passengers side A post cover
And also half of my interior rear quarter panels had fallen apart and also the rear parcel shelf had gone to dust
So Today I replaced Rear Interior Quarters,C Post Covers,Rear Parcel Shelf
The Centre Console,Padded Dash Top,and Wood Effect Dash Inserts all with better items here are before and after comparisons
Dash Facia Inserts
Drivers side has an extra switch that's not used but putting my EFI display over it so that's no worries.
These panels came off a car that had been off the road in the UK since 1995 but the car being a 74 was slightly different
Passengers Side
Old Padded Dash Top
This was the original that was warped to buggery
This one was better but dad a quarter of an inch of paint on it don't even think it was vinyl paint? Cleaned it off but that damaged the vinyl texture but its done me right for the past 18 months
Until i got this one which is much better again (Third time Lucky
)
And last but not least the Centre Console of which I forgot to photograph the previous but the old one was the one that come with the previous Dash top! So its now had three dash tops and three centre consoles
Its like Joseph's Technicolour Dream coat in there but everything is cleaner stronger and its starting to feel like a car again
Only thing left is the A Post covers I need to do some minor repairs even to the best ones over the weekend,
All these parts will be dyed to match original colours in the new year when its warmer.
I have a much better Dash Shell too but that will be swapped over in the new year!
But despite the varying shades it just feels a fresher nicer place to be
