wow, amazing work with those seats mate.
Very nice.
I think the SSV Redlines were all leather?.
Those ones look like Storm, SS, Ss Black seats?.
I think the V and Redline were all leather.
Not distracting from the great work, luv it!

A friend (you know who you are) had some Aunger headlight covers 3d printed. I had to have a set. Also painted the light surrounds black. Car looks a lot meaner.

Those Aunger bits are so period correct!.
That company must have made a killing selling bits of perspex ( front) and bits of black plastic ( rear window) to car heads back in the day.

Redid all the internal door cards in thin aluminium. Starting to experiment with shapes and designs.

 

I don't like my modified door handles. Back to the drawing board for these.   
I am trying to use similar design and shapes as the original cards (grey). With a modern twist with a American red cedar wood veneer insert (will be painted with epoxy lacquer to bring out the red in the wood. It will also have chrome piping added to surround the wood like the original shape.

 

Like I said just playing around with shapes a the moment....

Loving your work on this one mate. Interior work is such good shit and you're having a good creative crack at it.

 

Of course those headlight covers look fantastic too. ;) Bit biased on that one.

Finished the boot. All the stereo gear now under the false floor. 
Velcro holds it all in position nicely.

Finished the front and rear door cards. Very happy with the end result.
The American red cedar wooden veneer has had 7 coats of epoxy.
Matches with the steering wheel nicely.

Also added an carbon fibre strip that matches the centre of the VF Commy seats.
