Had a trip to the "Trim Technician" today and it's starting to come together, a couple more weeks of trim and a week or so of "Heath" treatment at X-Works and it should be complete ... Hopefully BEFORE Summer ends smile .




I think the craftsmanship is exceptionally good, although I think John is cursing me for insisting on a "FULL" leather soundproofed interior without any carpet other than the floor mats

One word as Peter kay would say "Jammy git" Keith, your chim is getting too much love. And you will be nursing a semi when you drive her. Your Tuscan won't get a look in. Its looking fantastic m8.

Cheers Mark..It's taking a long time, but I would prefer it bob on rather than rush it.
Acoustic Duct foam from Custom audo design ... Otherwise I think you would lose the sound deadening of carpet and the dog shelf would be like a boom box.It also makes it feel nice and cushioned.

I guess it's similiar stuff...but that's got a foil covering. It's fire proof and self adhesive. John has still put the usual TVR harder matting over the duct foam because its less spongy and then the leather. His problem has been getting leather on without any wrinkles... carpet is a lot easier and can hide lumps and bumps.
The wiring loom to the fuse box is still needs some work as you can see from the photo.

looks like nice, but do you think your legs are going to get sweaty on the leather tunnel?

Ambitious to go for complete leather.

Thing is, if you put anything at all behind the seats on the flat area, it will mark the leather won't it? I'd have left that area carpetted.
