Work in progress: A Different Interior

I was starting to get a little tired of my Tan interior and for some time have been looking for something slightly different. I am not really a fan of Black Seats so that kind of ruled out Plus seats, though I did consider going for an LE set

I then saw a late model six speed with another option and the hunt began. Obviously Joe was the fellow who came to the rescue in the end

So out came the TAN Carpet and rear cards.


In went a Black Carpet, the rear cards and the rear seat back.



they took quite a bit of cleaning, but once done they looked so much nicer. They make the old Tan Seats look BROWN!!



Almost done.....


I still have some work to do to the Drivers seat. It really could do with the foam bolsters repairing or replacing, also either a leather repair or a segment replacing on one of the edges.




Bob

Oooh - don't recall seeing one that colour. Looks very similar to colour of my old '77 Mk1 Scirocco!

Looks the part Bob
Probably be admiring the result in the flesh at Spa soon.

Is this to let mrs BarmyBob get used to the new interiour and will you soon be replacing the exteriour of that late 6 speed model you referred to

They are a rather rare option. I saw a set in an Ink Black six speed that was for sale a few years ago, I then saw a set more recently in an Energy Green Six Speed.

This set came out of an Energy Green Coupé but were not in great condition They have though cleaned up really well and will require a minimum of extra work to get them to a point where I am completely happy with them.

The transformation inside the car is amazing and the contrast with the dark carpet is really nice.

I was once looking for a VW Corrado STORM edition. Dark green, or blue, with the lighter leather option..... I ended up buying a Coupé

Pieter,

I thought long and hard about selling my car and looking for a really nice Plus. I know though that it would be almost impossible to find one anywhere near as nice as yours

So I have decided to keep my Green one, probably forever.

That Said I would like to replace my Alfa 166, perhaps I could run two Coupés

looking very nice bob, well done!

Looks great Bob, the black carpet contrasts really well with the light colour leather

very nice .

LOL at Bob the corporate man with the cap on the seat

Looks nice Bob, great work

Indeed

Very nice Bob! I think it really freshens up the interior

Notice how the rear and lower bolsters are different between the early and later seat types. The back bolster has slightly larger sides and the lower squab is wider.

i think the only thing to notice from that picture is the impressive size of your hammer!

if in doubt and all that!!!

..and bobs got a cement mixer as well..don't mess with him folks..he is known to bury peoples feet in concrete and throw them into the river!

Bob - Is that a submarine door in the garage?

LOL So much interest in the contents of my Garage

Sledge Hammer = To smash the broken bits of my drive up.
Cement Mixer = To repair said damaged drive and also assit with landscaping the back garden.
Submarine door =

I'm pretty sure I have a set of these particular colour seats lying in a shed somewhere. They came out of a late six speed which I kept when I got rid of the car, although I now have an LE.

Very nice Bob.

Much nicer! I'd say they were a nice "biscuit" colour.

mmm biscuits

Great work bob! Looks the part

How much would you want for me to take them off your hands?

PM me please

cheers


Paul

Already sent the PM and asked him He informs me that they are not for sale
