> Project : Carpeting and details

So continuing from where i left of with the interior a few weeks ago, i lined the body with felt, where i did not use the sound deadening material....

Got the carpets cut to size and sewed.

Glued in the carpets, trimmed the edges and made stainless steel sills and fitted them in, as well as the refurbished kick panels.

Swapped over seatbelt mechanism from my dads MK2 escort, looks like it came out factory. Test fitted doorpad for fit of other panels.

Refitted center console, sprayed trim black and fitted the MK2 escort seatbelt clips.

I got a really interesting gearknob from the Karmann Ghia in the rotted section.

Boot was looking abit plain, had some carpet left over......

So i carpetted the floor...

Fitted a homemade bracket to mount the spare wheel.....

I mounted an LED strip over the sparewheel also, so i reflects and illuminates the sparewheel as a center piece of the boot.

Brakes did not work the last time, so out they came....

Turned out the rod was too short, had to extend it so the brake pedal would come up in line with the other pedals and offer more travel on the pedal.

Made a section to go between the parcel shelf and the split seats as there was a gap showing, this was covered int black carpet.

One piece that was hard to get was the clutch fork dust cover, ended up using a universal gear gator as an alternative, hope it lasts.

Had to remove all the locks and get keys made up, as the keys that came with the car did not work!

New rear number plate was made, in standard size to replace the square plate.

Oil pressure gauge on the dash was not working, the original plastic pipe was damaged, so i made a new bent steel pipe.

Pipe runs from the engine into the cabin, and to a plastic section and into the gauge cluster.

Next up the seats.....
