INTERIOR DESIGNERS REQUIRED

the vents on ebay are over 50 quid, so this looks a bargain

Hi Steve not a problem I've just fitted the heater controls, they look good. I also fitted new seat belt retracting guides and seat belt tidys the cylindrical ones they keep the belt away from your neck and they look good as well. I'll put some photo's on tomorrow after I clean the interior. Stu

Thanks Stu

Order placed for all five dial surrounds, seat belt plates that fit into the t-bar,hand brake button and heater control knobs all from alloy car parts .com :broon:

I already have the door lock pins and guides along with the seat belt tidies which I bought from mg mania ( nice stuff).

I will pick up the paint this week and get the job started in a week or so.

Look forward to seeing your pictures.

It's been a while since I asked this, but now I have the time to start on the interior spruce up. After today the work will start.

Jobs to do!

Paint the centre console.
Paint all air vents.
Paint door plastic trim.
Paint speedo/rev counter surround
Paint dash windscreen vents.
All parts to be painted gloss black .

After the paint.
Fit polished dial rings to all gauges.
Fit polished heater controls.
Fit seat belt retracting plates
Fit zt door handle surrounds.

And anything else that springs to mind.

Already fitted door lock pins and seat belt tidies, and alpine rear speakers.

I will post some pictures during the make over.

Most of the polished bits came from alloy car parts and look like quality items at a very reasonable price.

Hopefully now the sun is here this will be completed for my interior refit:

That's coming along great Adam, can't wait to see it finished.
As for mine it's fairly straightforward compared to what you are doing.



I managed an hour today to start the strip down of the plastic parts today.


I've took all the parts out and washed in fairy liquid ready to be rubbed down and cleaned again with thinners.

Just one question does anyone know how to remove the windscreen air vents?.

I still have a pair of these handles for sale.

Thanks - next is smooth it and buy the leather or vinyl to cover it - not decided which yet!

I've got a set of t hose R75 handles - forgot about them! Ooh damn something else to do!

If I remember rightly the windscreen vents are held in from underneath the dash.... easy when it's out, impossible when it's in I think.

I have 2 spare as well, as I won a set of 4 for £21.
If the first attempt goes wrong at least I can try again.

Job done but it took a little longer than I thought (work commitments etc). Here's a few pic of the end product.


Not the best pics but looks good in the flesh.

Looks great!

I am gonna try and fit the entire handle from the R75 as I found a full how to... looks a total pain but I then get the curved chrome handle too.
