This looks like a great project, what does flocking cost? Or would you prefer not to say.

 

ur crazy

but crazy aint always a bad thing.

 

no probs at all the dash was £125
the transmission tunnel and adjoining parts £80
the blue flocked parts £50
the door card single colour £40 mine was £60 two colours
Central blast cleaning at banbury
they also do powder coating
nikki mick and phil great service
currently under water after floods in the local area believe i know i was there picking some of my stuff naohs ark was more than my car.
pm if you want full address
the blue looks a bit lighter in the flash but the flocking is really tough.
cheers mick

 

deffo crazy lol

 

right now i have a bit of time ie not in the garage i will bring the project up to date as best i can

got the dash and the tunnel all the bits that go with it and a door card which was a chance but came out great.

first job pipework for air cooling system you know what i mean

bloody great it all comes off with the dash so dont mess on with air vents no need.talking about vent put me boost gauge in the drivers side one. great idea not mine and thanks to whos car i saw sorry cant remember but might be the stunner that won NBO best in show cheers


put wiring and pipe though the air intake modded it a bit. this is my first fit with the dash going to remove soon to sort out some wiring issues

certainly will tidy that up pic below is the air vent unit seals the gap between dash and window

next top air vent i was going to put three 60mm gauges in this looked ok. but got the zero sport pod and changed my mind put the clock in the right hand vent but not finished yet.

god that glue looks bloody awful right the dash is back in for good now got the wiring sorted
next is the radio sorry kids no more dvd got something for that space.

aircon and radio panel is next flocked blue


looks better all fitted in

really nice contrast with black

next is the base and rear of transmission tunnel all flocked black

looks really nice no fooking sticky sweets kids

gear surround and general tidy up getting there

the other air vent as normal except the flocked surround

starting toget the look like i was after. flash on camera lightens the blue a bit

gear **** back on starting to look something normal got to wire the new gauges in, including the triple pod and the side gauges not got the pod yet.

right drivers side door card had no idea how this would look but works well dont know what to do with the carpets yet anyone got any ideas ? black or clean them or what

thats as far as i have got so far got some wiring to sort thats the next job.got to get a triple side pod. not to bad to do kills your backside with the seats out. thats was a big mistake next job after the wiring is the dash and the steering surround. got both airbags to tackle and hopefully cbc in banbury have got some gear working after the floods and i can fit the door cards and the switch housing all have been flocked.
if not i will have the hyperflow intercooler to fit and even the tein suspension thats another story.
cheers mick

 

Thanks for getting back to me about the flocking mate, this looks like it will end up stunning. imho youve got the colour scheme bang on looks great.

 

yeah, the interior is much better now. colour scheme ties in well with the car in general mick.

will have to pop up and see it one day

 

cheers no probs anything esle ask away
mick

 

cheers andy sorry about the no show yesterday two hoyrs to get half way.three hours to get back did stop at the pub for dinner and that callof nature lol
see you wed
about three
mick
cars colour scheme is very good well pleased dont know wether to get the carpets retrimed ? black maybe what do you think ?

 

new seats for the scoob. rear seats are going to make way for custom console to hold fire extingishers, sound system, nitrous bottle etc

 

Loving it Mick...

 

Very nice indeed!

MidnightSTi won the Best of show at this years NBO!

S!

 

thats the one m8 cracking car
mick

 

cheers neil what do you reckon to the carpets?
mick

 

few more pics of the project loads of gauges

tried the zero sports pod on needs flocking next black

got all the gear ready i hope

wires in for the centre and pillar pods

pillar

right lets get started bloody wiring

the one thing i want is a triple 60mm pod for the right hand pillar anyone got any ideas.
mick

 

Erm.....

Not sure on that one...pass...

I think black would be best, unless the blue is a good match for the blue flocking..


Like the seat choice though...

 

I would go for a black carpet or rip the lot out and have the floor all painted and cleaned woth a set of nice mats on the floor, abit of a race look if you can see what i mean.

Other than that a black carpet! lol
S!

 

nah carpets wont go it will have to be black i can soon get the tranny tunnel off
mick

 

thought about that might give it a look with the carpets out. maybe some alloy footwell thingyabobs i now what i mean
mick lol

 

as anyone knows putting wiring in any car around the dash etc is a painful experience so many sharp edges
right nice grommet down near bottom of steering column


just right for the wiring for the gauges

it comes out under the master cylinder

quite close to the turbo but you can get the wires tight up behind the brake lines fastened tightly no chafing

now thats done i like using stereo bits and bobs for connecters. there smart cheap and waterproof and look good

its on the firewall panel at the top. i will get some fire protection for the wiring just a overkill but worth the cost

only moan the wiring looms on the gauges are quite short. so it may mean some more connectors so it looks good
cheers mick
im knackered so having a break tommorow might source some carpets any ideas

 

Cord carpet was a favourite of mine when I used to build my custome cars/hotrods. A top job none the less!

S!

 

open to all suggestions that sounds like a good one. quite like that
cheers mick

 

where did you source the gauges from mick? after recent events, when monies allow, im getting some for the car, to keep tabs on whats under the bonnet.

like the swoosh ones myself. no need for defis in my opinion...

oh... wednesday, make it 3.30 dude. pick mrs up from work at 3pm, so wont be in until 20past-ish...

 

that looks like its going to be one very tidy car once finished. Loved reading this so far, nice job on the pics and updates.

IMO not sure if polished metal floor would suit / match with the rest of the "cosy" looking interior, Black carpet just seems like it would be more in character, like i said - just an opinion.

Matt

 

you can buy valeters carpet dye, so you can make your blue carpet black :-)

 

andy the swoosh do nearly everything the deffis do full motor sweep etc

automotive dials i can give you the web site 3 for £80 with all the adaptors chuffing hell come on they are the dogs to look at. dont have to get the blue like mine. they do a smokey black just like mr deffi does not sure how reliable they are. but reckon they are ok
mick
