Goals,
Doubts and Dreams
Summer 2003
- Again
and again, my goal is not to have everything new
- I hope it will not be too costly to replace all the carpet pieces,
it would be nice to do that
- I hope I'll be able to put the dashboard parts back together
:-)
- I would like to find an original spare tire cover (but it's not so
important anyway)

Disassembling
is quite fast for the interior, there is less rusty bolts and
screws
|
The
dashboard and wiring harness are more difficult to remove
|
There
is not so much left. We can easily see the amateur steel sheet
work made on the floor panels
|
As
for the floor, some steel sheets in the trunk have been sadly
replaced

The
result of leather treatment is impressive, it's shiny!
|
Front
seats are nice and the back seat is gorgeous
|
|
I used
a renovating and then a tinting product for all leather pieces, the
result is impressive, it's motivating! Leathers are in very good shape,
in fact the first pictures I took of the interior, on top of this page,
are quite pessimistic.
I keep
all carpet pieces, even the most damaged ones, because I'll use them
as a pattern to eventually make my own if I don't buy a complete new
carpet set.
