Nicely spotted....... the force is strong with this one! I also have a full size stormtrooper named Gary who lives in my hallway.
Yes my lord! I guess that puts you in charge at the Xmas fancy dress party!
Got the closest match vinyl on the console, not quite "tan", so I'll probably order some stitched leather to cover it, ill wait til the hood cover arrives to see how good a match the tan leather is
Fitted the leather speedo cover, its a much better match to the mx5 tan colour, albeit some slight fading, of the original dash, getting a price for stitched leather for the centre console and dash surround, think it'll be about £200-250 all in,
Also fitted the wipers, used drilled and tapped landrover defender spindle adapters, the original ones had the grub screws rounded off, i wish these were available in stainless!
Thats still not a stick on number plate, I'm hoping to get the rear wheels off and some new tyres, as they are really at the limit on size, and one has a slow flat. Probably going to go down to a 45 profile to give a little more clearance at the rear, I'm hoping to make new arch liners while they are off
That's probably the company I bought the dash cover from, JF customs i think.....but they don't list a full tan console/stereo surround so I'm just waiting on a price.
Been reading through loads of old build threads on the forum, great for finding inspiration.... but I feel like a bit of a stalker now ��
Ordered leather wrap for the console, £235, also received tan carpet and edging and some extra strong machine needles, so I can have a go at making some edged carpet, but next job is to make a stick on number plate
Yes i believe that was me! That was just after I first built it.... how time flies, will definitely do a few shows, once they are up and running, still need to give the mechanicals a good going over and get an mot
Having a go at the seal to the roof, I've used plastic upvc corner profile, to get the 90 degree seal in the position I need, unfortunately my electric window switch has given up on the passenger side down, so I've ordered some retro toggle switches
New window switches, had to modify the stainless cup holder/ash tray replacement, as they only did an "all in one" blackened one
Pulled all the carpet and wet vacuumed it, tidied up the seats, painted some trim, just waiting on the leather wrap for the console and tombstone
I'm using the sites own picture hosting tool...
Very odd, must be something to do with the way the pictures are hosted, can you see pics if you go to the community tab/photos?
I ended up using a nylon brush on a drill with a steamer to strip all the leather back, then recoated them with leather paint in a hvlp spray gun, really pleased with them, but long term I'm planning on getting leather bucket seats
