interior request
Posted: Mon Jun 01, 2009 2:35 am
ok, so here is the story
i have a 1951 4 door highlight sidevalve morris minor
it looks to have been originally a light grey (tho this has been resprayed at some point). However this paint was well past saving and so i am respraying inside and out.
The new colour will be a medium gloss black (perhaps a little more shine than a standard satin paint).
Now interior wise it seems to have the original headliner (the wooden backed type in what looks like originally a greeny grey) and door panels in brown (with the chrome strips). The original carpet which i assume was brown has long since rotted away. The front seats have either been recovered or replaced with some nice red leatherette with white piping (i really like this look so it happened to be a selling point of the car
) and i have since tracked down a matching rear seat set.
Now to the dilemma. I cant decide on what i want to do interior wise after the respray. (ideally i need several cars so i can do several different interiors) at this point i am torn between patching up the originals (there are some rips) or recovering them with some red leatherette tuck and roll and then trying to decide what colour carpet i want!
so in short i am requesting photos of black minors and their interiors
