Interior update...

Post by Fordoholic Nick »

Hi. So finally I get the time to start fitting my recently re-trimmed interior. Got the rear cards and seats in now and have to say I'm over the moon how nice they look. The cards look superb as do the seats !! Can't wait to fit the fronts next Here's a few photos guys...

They're so good you'll be frightened to sit on them and buying (leapordskin?!) seat covers to protect them.

A great job Nick, you must be so pleased.

Thanks very much for the kind words chaps. Very much appreciated. I been looking forward to cracking on and fitting them. Mike's quality of work is incredible especially the cards which he custom made from scratch. The shiny trims on the cards are actually made from metal rather than plastic. Mike worked closely with a fabricator friend of his to get them shaped and fitting so well. Took a fair bit of fettling to get them right but he now has templates for both the front and rear cards so he can now make up new trims for anyone wanting them for their S cards. Very clever. They really are a triumph !!! The seats ain't bad either :lol:

Paul I bought some of these mate to keep them protected against any wear, marks or stains but of course they'll come off for shows.

It's good that they fit, but you really should have bought the Ford cards, not the ones for a Triumph... :headscratch: :lol:
