    Continuation on the interior.
    I did purchase some extras for the interior and made a start with that.
    Replacement parts of the seats and some PE framing and seatbelts.


    Console and instrument panel will be replaced as well.
    First by removing the original console and filling up the gap with a piece of plastic card to have a more solid base for the new console.

    And the new resin console is mounted.
    Sufficient support from the plastic card base.

    @airbum great progress with aftermarket cockpit! My work goes slow because of holidays. Engines has a lot of parts and fitting was a long process. Next step will be to fit engine covers. And next to paint antiglare pannels on OD. Next masking antiglare panels, and Finally overall painting. Also some summer meetings in my garden 🙂
