This interior will be a combination of Perrone Noir black leather for the outers and Andrew Muirhead Ingleston Scarlet leather for the centres - both absolutely top-class leathers and both completely automotive and aviation spec. :smile:

Looking more like a 2 year project :sad: theres always summat that stops me in my tracks. Although the new hurdle ive got is identical twins due June :crazy: so all spare funds are being saved up to buy stuff for them etc :sad: dont need much really apart from a respray still, some more sound deadening, and front/back door rubbers, and obv the main thing to go and pick up my seats from Mondo :smile:

 

Its def not mission aborted yet! lol especially as they reckon we might have a good bit of sun this year :banana_dance:

Front seats completely finished now and boy, do they look and feel pretty! As well they should do... I mean, I've only had this interior here for nearly 12 months...!! :ohmy:

 

Next week will see me tackling the rear seats and tonneau cover, then the doorcards (can't wait!) and rear panels and the job is jobbed... :biggrin:

 

I bet Tony's almost forgotten he even had an interior for his car.....!!

Too posh for our cars, im not gonna want to sit on them, and i was thinking about putting twin isofix points in the back but ill be scared of scratching them i think the dogs and twins when they are here are banned out of my car lol

 

In the process of looking for a red vxr zaf for the wife as soon as ive bought one for her i can crack on with mine and she will leave me alone over it lol

Rear seats completed. I had to get a new pair of the plastic channels (in the rear upright) from Maido as they were missing on these seats, and the black adds a nice touch against the bright red of the seat centres.

 

Still plenty left to do yet, but I'm happy that there;s some good progress for Tony and everyone else to see!
