I have tons of ideas to share with you all yet but be patient as I have to work around customers builds and there's only so many days in a week and no cloning machines on ebay!
I keep getting asked to do customers interiors but really do not have the time thats why I'm showing you what I'm doing to my Kalifornia so you can have a go.
More soon

Perhaps its time to team up with a trim shop who could offer a "standard" trim option for the SWB. That would allow you do what you are best at , body fitting, paint prep, paint and final finish.
Just a thought, as you seem to be very busy!

Would be good if anyone knows a trimmer who can also fabricate parts?

The guys who did my interior but the frame and centre console, secret flap etc. They mainly seem to do luxury coaches, camper vans etc. Seem happy to be creative and their trimming and leather work is good. Based near Andover.

No personal experience of this guy, but the work he shares on "Rods 'n' Sods" is amazing.

Good luck, Paul.

Looks better in daylight. Really messy area now but as the saying goes ..you have to break some eggs to make an omelette

Looks good.
I'm fiddling about with dashboard changes on mine. Not as much change as yours but hopefully enough to make a difference.

I've only done the passengers side air vent so far, but an MX5 eyeball can be persuaded to fit in the original Z3 frame, keeping the flap closing slide. I'll put some pictures on my thread tomorrow when the mastic hardens.

Nubodi Automotive · #88 10th January 2016, 18:27

Id like to see that. Was not sure what to do with side vents.

Nubodi Automotive · #89 10th January 2016, 19:06

Today I wanted to cut off the rear roll over bar supports they stick up and look dumb.

Nubodi Automotive · #90 10th January 2016, 19:08

I made a protective shield (ali sheet with a hole cut in it) and proceeded to chop it off.

I think I will have to cut lower though once the seatbelt is removed.

Nubodi Automotive · #91 10th January 2016, 19:11

The inertia reel seat belts are the next part to replace otherwise you get a lump in the carpet or material behind the seats. I have replaced these with a set of fixed MG midget ones for £24 but I can sell the Z3 one on ebay for more. As I'm the only one going to drive the car, once they are adjusted they are good to use.

Nubodi Automotive · #92 14th January 2016, 07:44

Nothing to do with interiors but Geoffs car is going back to him today so thought you might like to see it.

garyh · #93 14th January 2016, 07:50

Now that's a classic, top work.

hurnleft · #94 14th January 2016, 07:52

Lovely. I hope mine ends up as good when it's painted.

You could delete the entire binnacle and fill the gap with what ever you liked then get your true gauges from one of these:

Going further you could incorporate an Android tablet into the dash running OBD2 data interogation app and displaying analogue style gauges - I can see there are OBD2 apps on the Android store. You could then design any number of custom gauge styles/layouts you wanted and could change them on a whim....

The Torque OBD2 dashboard for Android does allow you to create custom dashboards - could be fun!

Seller in Derby (or is that China, looking at the location on the feedback??). I wish this could be clarified by Ebay. I bought something a while ago advertised in a similar manner and it was indeed in UK (couldn't have even flown here from China in the time it arrived!). It puts a question mark on a lot of goods though.

molleur · #97 14th January 2016, 21:27

Seller is based in China.

Mister Towed · #98 15th January 2016, 06:19

Some good advice for any driver with nine or more points in the ad too, if you can read Chinenglish:

...it helps new driver of less experience to control the speed to avoid overspeed in some speed limit road section, but also it makes the driver read the data rapidly without transforming vision and keep the best watch state soberly...

Says it all really.

Maybe, but the stock could be with his friend in uk? as I found when I bought an item........ I had been informed by a previous buyer that this appeared to be the case, otherwise I wouldn't have ordered. It does make purchasing a bit murky at times. I always check (as much as I can) because the overseas sellers often put their location as London or Birmingham, but when you look further.....

Im sure the price speaks for the quality and the origin of this product!
