Hey everyone, its been awhile since I've posted anything on here so i guess it time for an update, "Quick note: not a lot has been done due to time, weather and lack a funds"
Also note that I have done all the work myself so it may not look as good as the perfesional people would do it but I say you get what you pay for and with no experience I think I did an okayish job :P
Firstly i had thoughts of changing the interior colour, e.g: Carpet, dash, and center console. I wanted to paint the interior white but remembered white can be painfully hard to get correct and when your mates touch the insides it gets really dirty, (seen too many white dashes with finger prints all over it, looked like a crime scene every time i went in the car) so I decided to go with a classic black interior look.
My first job was to remove the interior (and this was done early last year) and start working on the carpet, I first gave the carpet a clean like its never had before and started to paint it black, it did take 2 weeks to do because you have to wait for the first coat to dry and then do the last coat.
The next part was to do the center console, same style as painting the carpet, just gave it a good clean, light sand back for the paint to stick and a few coats of paint and a hot day was really helpful lol.
The most important advice I could give anyone if they want to change the colour is to make sure you over all the buttons and letters so you know whats what.
These are the before and after shots. (I still need to do the final coat so it may not look as good as it should)
After finishing off the center console I started the dash, this still needs a lot more work and the camera didn't take the best shot, so I'll upload more photos when i find my old camera.
Next had to be the doors and internal trims. and this was the most time consuming because you need to tape up everything and make sure you don't spray the windows.
With the last one, the door came out better when the paint dried.
I have also done the gear stick, hand break and all the other parts you cant see, (with the steering wheel I'm going to get that wrapped in a black leather so it will have that final touch)
Hope you guys liked what I did there and let me know what you think
I do have another question, i found an early 90's liberty wagon that is being wrecked at the moment and I was thinking if I take the entire suspension, the hubs, breaks and shocks, so what would I have to do to make that fit onto my little pocket rocket because I do not want to to keep the 4 stud pattern.
Thanks again guys and hope to give you guys more updates
