Interior Finished

[HBChris]

I do not post a lot but I have finally finished the interior on my early `69 2002 and thought I would share some photos. Carpet is GAHH square weave, seats repaired with good used Tobacco basketweave vinyl, three piece dash replaced with donor parts from FAQ members, radio is Blaupunkt stereo rebuilt into 4x45W by Turnswitch.com (not yet hooked up), Polk speakers, seatbelts from Bluedevils. Goal, as with my coupe, is to keep it as close to original as possible, I am only the second owner. Motor is freshly rebuilt and car has ~135K miles. Now all I have to do is enjoy driving it.

Just beautiful!! Makes me miss my 70....

What was the cost to covert the radio?

[Grover]

Very nice indeed. Could you post a few close-ups of the carpet fitting into the tricky areas? What was your impression of the fit and finish of the GAHH kit? My understanding is they are very highly thought of. My non-GAHH kit is decent but I've never been overly thrilled with the way it fits.

Very nice and clean! Where are the speakers going?

really gorgeous - just don't use that ash tray!

[FunElan]

Wow Chris, that's beautiful!! I love it. You do great work.

Ray, $385, pretty fair price considering you now have fader, balance and iPod input, very stealthy.

Grover,

Quality is excellent, only issue I had was fit on driver side. Gas pedal opening was offset but they replaced it. I think they used a later pattern in error, those with the trans tunnel covers would have a narrower floor. I had to find the front floorboard panels which my car would never have had to get the fit just right.

I want my car to look like yours!

Where did you source the "good used Tobacco basketweave vinyl"?

[jmon0261]

Nice HB C- Looks like you have been putting your retirement to good work!

Speakers on rear deck and under dash above the L and R panels.

Absolutely beautiful Chris, just like the coupe ! I too would be interested in knowing how you re-used good donor tobacco vinyl?

I'd like to do the same to my Blaupunkt.

More Pics?

Thanks for sharing.

I found some used rear seat covers through the FAQ three years ago. The back went onto my rear upright, the bottom was used for my driver and passenger seat bottoms which were ripped. Local shop sewed them in for me. I also got some used material from Paul Cain when he was restoring his Tii which is now sold. I will take a few more pics shortly.
