Default flocked interior esc cos

I'm gonna cage the car up so had to remove the interior didn't want it to have the ripped out look so thought I'd tidy it up a little.

Some bits I'm gonna redo.

cheers

My last car was too noisy for a road car when it was stripped out and night time outings were cold, so I think this might make it a bit warmer and it looks better than the inside of the panels.

Got the door cards to do aswell as I've taken the door pockets off for the door bars when they are fitted.

Very cool idea but keeping it clean and dust free might piss you off

Cheers mate Its getting there lots of flocking about

here's a doorcard that I done a test on the other day before I do the ones I'm going to use in the car.

They are a little bit harder becuase they are fabric and need more work than the dashes.





turned out okay, but I need to suspend the work to get teh edges and more lighting in the booth 2 9ft strip lamps 1 m off the desk aren't enough to be able to see the work. I'm gonna end up with a suntan and a half

Depends what way you look at it. I'm selling my original door panels and replacing them with others, I've sold the interior and replaced that. The only bits that I have 'de-valued' (as you put it) are the common Escort parts. If it comes to selling the car, it can go in pieces as it is half way there

You should see what I am going to do for my next trick You'll love it!

BTW - did you know my car is converted to RWD?
