What's in the trim shop this week........

Well after a ''Bored'' SOS we had a few hours in the garage today to do a bit more on D's T.
We came up with the thread title after a slight hic up but more on that later!!

We cut out the un needed tunnel, the torque tube is well below the floor and with the exception of the front part is surplus so out it came.



We un picked the old Saab rear seat out of the 32 we removed last winter, with the fronts destined for my Buggy, the rear bench was pulled out of storage and we set to peeling away the black vinyl.



The shape of the back panel whilst a tad tall was nearly there bot needed a slight adjustment.



So we began to adjust. This is where the title came from, this was a country mile away from how Tadman and Lopez work, when D came out with the ''Whats in the trim shop this week'' title, i pissed miself!! Get the tools, spray lubricant.......



To lube the blunt saw.......



That cut the base (in a fasion!!) That proved too hard, we found the jig saw with no blade, found an old blade, it wouldnt fit, so we hit it with the lube and then a hammer, it was fixed! See what I mean about a pattern forming? Were now taking on comissions so if you want an interior .... try anywhere else you can find!!!



Oh how we laughed!!

Anyhow the crude trim up worked and the back rest fitted.



Unfortunately our professional trimmers bench took a hit!



The perfectly good tyre on the pop rim had a trim too!! Is there a picture forming here?



So we then set to with the seat base having removed the Saab cover..





Naah its shite



We removed some of the metal work...



To expose the wood.....



We cut it and its just about there....



So with the seat base position decided we plated the floor to the end of the required amount of tunnel.





done.



So door cards, or body side panels. We cut templates from card and used 4mm MDF and cut to fit.





Now with the contours of the tub sides not being flat, we clamped them in, hit them with hot water and will now leave them for a week to see if the take on the requited shape. We'll see. Either way the seat is now to the correct height and ready for the trimmers as are the door cards that will ultimately be bonded in.



in a moment of madness - we rigged it up to look like a circus come Charlie Carolle car!! Or was that Munsters!?



And to top the gear stick a polised piston we did.



A cool morning with a few laughs that broke the back of the xmas boredom that was just about to set in! So there ya go. Interior almost ready for propper trimming now.
