Got all of my trim back from the detailers in the last day or two. Had 2 sets of carpet/front seats/kickpanels and 3 rear seats/sets of door trims shampooed and detailed, come up great. The best will be fitted to the 2 tone when dry and the second best is already reinstalled into the 253 not in the picture. Now just have to offload 1 set of door trims and 1 back seat lol.
Hoping to get a fair bit done next week so I can cut the collection of VH’s from 5 to 3 or 2 and have all the best bits in the 5L ;) The green SLX will be up for sale once tidied up. Just need to detail, find and fit a new green indicator stalk, get a pin hole in radiator tank soldered and hopefully blue slip.
Not much of an update at the moment ;) I’ve done about another 1500kms sourcing bits and extending the collection to 5 VH’s :S
Another SLE was sourced for blue velour trim in better nick, but it may stay in the garage as well and replace the green SLX. It is a 253 single tone in Tahitian blue ;) It even had some “Reebok inspired” pump up lumbar support and a pair of 1984 spec Pionner 6x9s in the parcel shelf.
Facebook buy,swap,sell score. SLE rims with decent tyres and caps, no rash $100 ;)
Edo spec pic of inside. All electrics except fan work. Some issues to rectify are dashtop is cracked, usual vinyl lift on console, carpet needs to be refitted to cut out slack and seats need a clean. The tint has some scratches, so that will be removed as well for now. I’m tossing up whether to source best of old parts or get Pro-Stitch in Carlton to do a proper job and be happy with it straight up and save all the road trips etc that come with sourcing crap from the SLE mecca of Melbourne. I did the green car at the same time, and it is tidy. It puts this thing to shame..
Looks like a great project, be great to see it on the road.
