so interior wise
current is brown doors with chrome strip and brown headliner
kick panels, b pillars, rear parcel tray and under rear seat are also trimmed in the original brown, carpets and wheel well covers are long gone, but were brown and creme respectively.
steering column, handbrake and parcel tray under the dash are a sort of matt brown (should be nickle, but my car is poverty spec due to shortages at the time) which i do like due to the vintage feel the finish gives. The tray itself is a thick card with a gold painted finish on one side - i have some nice textured material in the same colour i was planning on covering the upperside with, although i think a padded tuckandroll matching the seats could work nicely if i paint or cover the otherside.
The instrument panel and glovebox were originally painted gold - not sure if i want to repspray them gold, black, or even a dark red
The sill covers were originally silver i was planning on repraying these silver again - along with the bracing in the boot. Not sure about the sill finishers (the bit you see from outside) - they would have been body colour, but you can get stainless ones so perhaps paint them too.
(the fuel tank is painted silver and i plan on doing the torsion bars the same)
Carpet
I am torn between black carpet or a dark red carpet (i will be trimming the boot as well)
It would be a dark red but im thinking that if i have the doors, seats and headlining red as well it could be like sitting inside a mouth :?, this also leads onto windlace/door seals - these come with a fabric cover (originally grey with green flecks) black or red. Will having them red be too much or will it make a nice contrast to a black painted interior
Im pretty set on having the beading between the front + rear wings and body a dark red
possibly this
unless i can recolour some
hints, tips, comments?
