a few photos from today.
The complete fabrication was finished today and i am quite pleased as to how it came out, although it is hard to imagine what it wil look like trimmed.
Forgot to take some photos all together, as we were on a time crunch to finish it all off today.
Had some issues but. Really wanted a monitor in the back for Lachlan, but it just wouldnt fit without looking out of place. Also, the center console needed to be cut a bit as well to fit, adding to retrim costs. The major issue is that the suede has not arrived in Sydney and no one is sure where it is... damd couriers.
will we make All Ford Day on Sunday?, depends if materials turn up tommorrow..

new alloy flames under the interior light
Original flat floors cut back to give foot space for rear passengers (note RHS chassis conector, originally covered by floor. "PITA")
This is what $400 worth of Mercedes Benz carpet looks like.
Before Carpets when down, the underlay was pulled up and flat boards installed to flatten out the floor irregularities.

This is the bare frame of the side fill panels before laminating with thick cardboard layers
The unfortunate result of running out of room, center console had to be cut up to give good gaps around new parts. = more time and cost.
Small details count, silver backing behind the warning LED's is engrave with ID for each light. Hi beam, ALT and new Brake fail light.
You will also notice the Harnesses are gone and enertia reel seat belts are now fitted.
So the guys from Elite Custom Interiors will be busy tommorow, sewing up seats and bits and pieces, then hopefully Friday for the install.
Wish me luck
