Three years have past now, and the red lady is almost complete ... really don't know if that pleases me or not... it's been my hobby ... and psychiatrist.
We did go the long way , every electric wire has been renowed, and changed, this is how i met her for the first time : click to enlarge

and all the beauty care donne so far ... click to enlarge

we went from this: click to enlarge
to this : click to enlarge

Every hose, or tube i can reach is changed and or repaired... engine sounding pretty well ... did not go to any stage ( yet) so i can have an excuse to keep her in IC! ( no pics yet )

and now she rests so far looking like this : click to enlarge click to enlarge

as for the interior... at first i wanna do it as original as possible ...but then, just got carried away with something i can't explain... but that i like !
click to enlarge click to enlarge click to enlarge click to enlarge click to enlarge

so here she rests now... waiting in the "almost" zone for the final paint job ... and body kit paint and fittment ( ordered one from Autods, and love the quality )

maybe for christmas ... it will be on the tree ... maybe, or as my son says : Dad i don't want the new ps4 for christmas, i want a ride at school in "our" new old car .

Just one major problem does anybody knows where in hearth do i get the windows scrappers and the doors rubers for this : click to enlarge

Great work and patience pcavalera smile

Like the instrument panel illumination (?new) and the gear stick gaitor smile

I'm sure someone on here will have the door and window parts you need.

Good to see pcavalera.
I particularly like to seats.
Are they original or after market?

Thanks, Both the seats and guear gaitor are the originals ones , just refurbed them my way, with an italian essence. And yes gave some brightness to the dash board with some plasma dials and new led ligths.

How did you put the double din radio in the centre console?
Did you do the refurbishment of the seats yourself? Is it possible to make a how to? Compliments on the interior!

hi henk , the radio, i had to cut in the center console, then built a support, and rebuilt with melted plastic the rest of the console... so that it fits like factory.
the seats, just met a awsome uckranian guy that does miracles with leather... .
never tought on a how to... let me see if i have pics and can write one.

nice work there mate. you obviously got a lot of patience for this stuff
I would love a how to on the seats to mate, cause I have the same once and they need a refurb but with the red stitchings I am not sure how to start or even finish one.
so any advice or tips would be awsome
