For something different i took the tops off a vs caprice leather door trim and made them fit the original door card. It gets rid of the crappy looking material. <span style=”background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);”></span>

Mate that looks mint, did getting the door reupholstered cost much? Did you paint the rest of the door trim black or is it all new?

Door cards all still original.

Just prepped the shit out of them used adhesion promoter and vinyl paint no issues at all no wear yet either.

Id get them done in the ss trim looks more in theme with the car, also means that you have brand new trim. Nothing else in your trim is that slate grey plush velour and the senator runs visors, door trims to match with that veliour etc

Just not sure if the ss trim will be a bit much on the door trim as its quite a large area of the door

 

 

Probably have to go back to original style door trim inserts for it to work yes

So got the facias ready for paint going satan black then gloss black with the caprice door moulds. See how it looks, as getting caprice trims re covered in the 25i colour vynal and maybe black leather inserts in door trim.

Got all the seats out etc, new black seat belts, momo wheel in and ready for new carpet. I am going to try heat proof around trans tunnel to combat all the zaust heat. Can get underlay with heat resistant backing

I understand wheel not to everyones taste but cheaper to go aftermarket than have my standard one retrimmed.

Na mate was the only option with the ss ute and the guy didnt get it lol.

Some pics of tub liner for bloke asking about liners, this is a raptor liner. Can be tinted to body colour and sprayed through a sound deadener gun. Very little prep work required hence i used it as really couldnt be assed spraying inside tub

Lol found this pic, my panel beater knows i am a little ocd when it comes to paint etc so he polyestered the whole rear of ute, hence its so flat

Yeh that thought had crossed my mind.

[Slow355Participant Victoriahectic spec 355 vs ss ute View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 322]

Got my bits back from my painter, came up as always exactly how i wanted them. Satin black for all the dash facias and gloss for the door trim pieces.

Also got my drop down box for the b&m shifter, just waiting on my dekota shifter position gizmo. Once shifter arrives ill take the grinder to it and make a few minor adjustments. It will sit down in the standard facia and run in standard slot. It will run the dekota to light up shift positions, a lot of people just run all one colour led in each but honestly thinking maybe green for all drive positions, red for park and reverse and white for neutral. Or is that too much just stay one colour?

Nice finish on the trim. I also thought of the different colour leds for the dekota but just went red and green the same layouts as the standard colours.

Yea  I thought the same thing with the shift colours, give it a go, and see how it looks.  Its pretty easy to change if you don’t like them

[sands vsParticipant vs commodore View build HERE Member since: March 1, 2015 Posts: 619]

That interior came up real nice

[Slow355Participant Victoriahectic spec 355 vs ss ute View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 322]

Anyone know how good the standard sound deadener is (not carpet underlay)? As trying to get temps down in car from zaust. Is aftermarket matting with alloy back better? Or could i stick aftermarket over the top of it? As i know removing is a prick as would need to use dry ice etc.

Pick of new black facia installed looks so much better, yes still have aftermarket dials as in the move lost the hsv original cluster faces haha. Understand momo wheel not to everyones taste but was the best looking wheel with crash pad that i could find. And yes handbrake cover been replaced, back in 2007 this was the best option i had as leather was peeling on standard one.

I actually like the new steering wheel looks good.

One thing i did when i had the interior out was remove the jack bracket so i could get my seat back further only held in by 2 bolts in the fuel tank compartment.

Then i made a bag for the jack and tools to go under the seat.

I also ran new carpet down the back wall and only glued it half way down so i could lift the carpet over the jack winder rod just keeps it nice and neat.

[Slow355Participant Victoriahectic spec 355 vs ss ute View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 322]

Not a bad idea with the jack but not sure if my seat hits it with the angle i have seat on ill look into it.

As far as the sound stuff I posted it above mate link and all. Can go strait over as long as its clean to begin with vaccume and use prepsol or something

[Slow355Participant Victoriahectic spec 355 vs ss ute View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 322]

Yea already got it just wasn’t sure if to go over original sound deadener.

Yea did the drivers side last night do passengers tonight, i think will make a good amount of differance. Would be very happy if it keeps the heat temps down!

Most builds I see now people seem to go for that stick on silver backed dynamat stuff.  My mate used it on his Mustang and raves about it.
