Re: new guy from the Netherlands
So, here some pictures, the first one is from the floor that I give a sound deadened rubber layer, whats called Merford.
the other pictures are from the mounted doors hood etc.
the last picture is from the front what looks terrible before the paint, it didn't fit and looks like scrap.
but I'm happy now.

Re: new guy from the Netherlands
Well Peter,
I think you're making quite a number of us look sheepish with how long we're taking to get our car "restored". Yours is beautiful!

Re: new guy from the Netherlands
My console is also restored with all new chrome and the knobs are restored to. for the paint I used a special metal-paint that's very wear-resistant.

Looks like a nice job on the wrinkle paint. Great looking center console.

Re: new guy from the Netherlands
the Color is darker than it looks, it's almost similar at the old color.
But the right picture is made with a flash.
