[mr.oogieboogie]

Thanks for the replys. Looks like the snow will hold off progress for a few days

[Vanya]

You wouldn't happen to have the old brown driver footwell carpets around still or have you chucked them? I'm missing my original factory one on the drivers' side...

[mr.oogieboogie]

Yep i still have that i will check the condition next time im at the garage. Think it was in good condition

[Vanya]

Cool! Drop me a line if you're up for selling 'em!

[mr.oogieboogie]

You can have them. Just pay for postage

[Vanya]

Sweet! PM sent.

[mr.oogieboogie]

Absolutely stunning Pete!

I've been toying with a change of carpet colour in my Calypso Red car when I refurb the interior next winter. I was thinking red or burgundy but I think your pics have convinced me that black is the way to go with my magnolia seats.

Did you go for black trim on the floor mats? Just that I can't see the white trim around them like you have on the sills etc?

[mr.oogieboogie]

No. The carpets have white edging and the mats are green to match the body colour

All the best

[Simon350S]

That's looks cracking, nice work, almost finished now

[mr.oogieboogie]

Yep. Will start removing the door cards this weekend. Any tips or screw locations welcome.

All the best

Very very nice looking interior, Peter. Good Work!

 

 

Neil: take a look at the "garage", and find my car, a 1990 Calypso Red with Magnolia all over leather and red carpets. I recently got a set of red foot mats, and that made it look better, than cream footmats (dirty every milisecond).

You can also take a look in Little Red Riding Hood thread in "Project & Resoration Room".

Feel free to send me a pm, if you want to see some more pics of the interrior on mine. I plan to install new red carpets later on.

 

Cheers,

Jacques

Right managed to get an hour or so on the car. Door cards off and stripped. Now to prep and paint

[mr.oogieboogie]

Well all of the door trim pieces are now painted. And the panels colour now stripped and will be painted tomorrow so will be put back together mid week and on the car next weekend.

[mr.oogieboogie]

At last door cards done. Should be in at the weekend.

[60N4.7]

JUST WOW!

[mr.oogieboogie]

Almost forgot the door handles

[Simon350S]

Nice

[Zolder]

Can I ask what type of paint you have used to do the plastic trim pieces?

Cheers

[mr.oogieboogie]

At last. Interior done

[Paul93Lotus]

Looks amazing!  I imagine a nice sense of accomplishment after getting all that was finished.  Looks better than showroom new, especially that color combination with the black carpet instead of the puke beige that makes absolutely no sense!

 

You should remove your map light and paint it with the same black you used on the door cards...fom the pics it looks out of place...or does it look ok in person with that nicely redone roof panel?  Just seems to stick out since it is not the most attractive looking Vauxhall part.  Thinking about it, dealing with the eye ball lights might be trouble some.
