Had a crack with a sewing machine today to do the surround section.
Turned out well

Worked out well
Glove box to cover now. Then will start finalising timber and mounting gauges and switches
Did a bit of a trial fit with the smiths gauge where the clock is planned to go

2 more things to cover and done essentially for covering

Ionix is the bottom of your parcel shelf aluminium too?
 
I was going to remake one for the Capri many years ago.
The one I found was the std fibreboard/cardboard thing from whatever they used to make them out of.
 
Someone mentioned to me at the time about safety having what effectively could be an aluminium blade just around knee height in the case of an accident. I hadn't though of it at the time.
It was remade out of cardboard and I reused the time edge facing.
 
Not trying to pee on your parade at all, as you've just done a great job.
Just something to consider maybe.
 

That's very true deano
I handnt considered that. I am going to put a fat timber front in it but that's definitely something to consider :)
That's the great things about these forums getting feedback from people about things you wouldn't ever think of!

All good, glad it came across as intended.
Keep ripping into it mate!

I remade the drivers side shelf for my Mk 2 out of laminate , covered it in carpet and took care of edge with some leftover inner doorway seal from the escort. Eliminates the raw edge, blends in with the black carpet and stops any bits from sliding off the shelf. Len

Looking good, noticed that wood trim on the dash too, nice details like that really make a car...
