Christmas Partial Re-trim

[gruffalo]

Well the Christmas present to the Cerb started today, interior is now stripped out and so far the steering wheel has been spokes have been recovered and refitted, door cards likewise, not bad progress for 1 day.

Tomorrow should see the front or rear seats done I hope.

Pics when I get a chance.

Wish i could work that fast,that would take me 12 months.

Oh yes I forgot to mention, bonnett off, hinges replaced and refitted as well.

Wheels off and sent away for a full strip and referb, they will take the longest but should be back mid next week when the new tyres will be fitted.

Hit a bit of a delay yesterday as when the old leather came off the rear seat bases they fell apart so glassing these back together today hopefully, a couple of picks of some of the bit thus far completed.

Damaged seat bases.



Some bits and bobs done so far.



More to follow.

What colour is that leather ???

[gruffalo]

It is the original TVR red, matches the Rosso Pearl exterior quite well, in the swatch book it was just listed as red but it is not the really bright red that some cars can out of the factory with.

I will find out the manufacturer and post it for you.

I think it's called Mulberry. Same as my seats (with black cushions) but my dash and console are black. Looks good

[gruffalo]

It is an Andrew Muirhead Leather and just called Red.

I think, and of course it is only my opinion that the door cards look fab, the red flat panel and the black surround look really good but that is of course my opinion only.

Will post more photo's as I get the chance.
