Nubodi automotive - Ferrari-esque Interior

[Mister Towed]

Neat job. I'm planning something similar myself so I hope you don't mind if I crib a few ideas.

I also intend to include door pockets, lever style internal door handles, dangly door pulls and old-fashioned window winders. I'm thinking I might try to link the winders to switches to operate the electric windows. Pull for down, push for up sort of thing.

Anyway, I look forward to seeing the rest of the interior develop. This is just the sort of thread that I find both fascinating and useful.

Happy New Year!

I now have a problem as the company that sold me the Leatherette folded it several times to post it. It would have being better to roll it and put it in a tube, dumb! However I do not have time to send it back and find a replacement. I am going to try and iron it out being careful not to melt it.

Oh by the way here are some photos of the door furniture.

I'm trying to upload an interior photo... If this doesn't work, can someone help? (Do I have to remove the'[URL=' bit at the front?
Thanks, Mike

[Mikewade]

Maybe you post it into the subject box?

[Nubodi Automotive]

You have to put [IMG] just before the http and [/IMG] after jpeg delete anything else

It might be worth making any door pull line up with original bolt holes. On mine the leather pull strap is bolted to a mounting point inside the original door. It keeps everything nice and strong at the stress points

[Mikewade]

Thank you. Let's see if this works!

[Mikewade]

Thanks.

I would rather put the handle where it looks better and was intending to put a couple of rivnuts in the steel door skin. I was not intending to bolt just to the panel. Be patient and wait till its finished. I appreciate all the helpful comments but it slows it down if I have to keep saying what I will be doing out of sequence. Comments on what I have done up till now are definitely appreciated though. Happy New Year Nick and everyone by the way.

Email me at nubodi.autos@gmail.com and I will help you, I need to see what line of code you are uploading to see where you are going wrong which cant be done in the forum.

2/ Upload pictures from your computer/phone/tablet to photobucket.

3/ Click on the picture you want to add to your post on here. Once it opens, you'll see four boxes to the right of the image under a heading 'share this photo?' Click on the bottom one labelled 'IMG' and the word 'copied' will flash temporarily.

4/ Go back to this forum (you should have photobucket open in a separate window) and put the cursor where you want the picture in your post. Right click your mouse and select 'paste' from the drop down menu. The image code will appear and that will change to the image being displayed when you click 'submit reply'.

The image will appear in the thread so long as you still have it stored on photobucket. Just be aware that if anyone clicks on the image it will take them to your photobucket account so they can view any images you have stored there, so it's probably best to avoid naked selfies...

Good luck.

You could create a private folder in Photobucket for your naked selfies. That's what I do ;-)

Love it. A crash structure to replace the air bag

[Mister Towed]

That Balti dish hub centre is a very creative idea. I like it!

[Mikewade]

Hi,
Thanks to Mr Towed if this works.
When I clicked on the photo in photobucket there is a 'Share' button, then 'Get Links'. If you click on that there are 4 options. I copied the IMG link (for forums and board), and pasted it below:

(Sorry, no naked selfies!)

[Mikewade]

Hurrah!!!!
Easy when you know how.

Here's the dashboard we constructed for The TVR Tuscan based 250 GTO that we built for Alex Jovey:



The exterior was quite nice too:





We will be producing a similar Z3 dash shell in GRP, as per my SWB that went to Germany. I will see if I can find some more pictures.....

The creases came out after ironing thankfully. I cut the material into four and laid the panel on top of the underneath of the Leatherette. I do not glue the outer skin to the foam as it stops you getting lumps and having to pull off and re-position. Also when you do up the door furniture it pulls the outer skin tight and gives that luxury soft panel look on high end cars.

[Nubodi Automotive]

Spray the two longest straight edges with contact adhesive. Once tacky, fold the skin inwards and pull tight. A top tip is to use duct tape to keep it from moving when it’s drying.
