Interior Project Finished

[Yves]

It's late, been working on it for 7 hours to get everything installed. More pictures & stories later, but already wanted to share some stuff.
Snake Hydes did an impressive job. Wow ! This is a different car.

Just for comparison :

BEFORE

AFTER

The second picture was taken at night in the garage, so the quality of the colors is rather poor. It's so hard to take a decent picture of the silver leather.

Still waiting for my MGW stuff. I had ordered 'polished' but really need the satin look to better match the ZAF center console.
Apart from that, ready to rock !

Just took it out for a spin. Was 7 weeks since I had driven it. Gosh - that felt good !

Great job - really looks nice!!!

All that hard work on the dash really paid off! The black is 10X better than the gray. It is also amazing how some custom leather can completely change a car. Looking good.

 

[Warren S]

Beautiful! Good job putting it all back together.

 

[Craig 201 MPH]

Wow that looks a world better than stock! Very nice!

 

[Roadkill]

Looks great!! overall a very nice upgrade!

 

[Snakester]

It really looks slick. Much improved!

[KenH]

Looking good Yves!

 

[AndyR]

Lookin great! I bet it feels like a whole new car.

 

[Andrew2KRT10]

Is that a Bronze color on the Dash or the lighting?????

Another question(s):
What year is the car? Are those two cables to the throttle bodies? My 2000 only has one. Wonder why two ?
Get smooth tubes on that thing...........
Is that a breather coming out of the left valve cover?
Leather work looks great!

The dash is actually 'flat black'.
The bronze shine is from a lamp in the garage. I will take some outside pictures this weekend.

Engine is next. Never touched it since I had considered taking the snake back to Europe (needs to be bone stock to pass import inspections). Now all those plans got canceled (I resigned from my job with Nike Europe to be able to stay in the US - got a partner over here now) and a supercharger might be on the horizon.

Expect more pictures this weekend.

Hey Andrew,
the Gen I engines had seperatee throttle cables and the Gen II (yours) has just one. TB's are linked for smooth application of power.
