How much has the suede cloth cost? I haven't seen a picture yet but it sounds brilliant!

The suede was £6.99 per meter and it's 1.4m wide, so enough to do dash and all the door cards like I've done

Here's what I've done

[DanRobinson]

That looks brilliant - did you make your door cards aswell? They look like a snug fit. If you did make them, did you put anything to lay underneath the suede or did you glue the suede directly onto MDF?

[RossKnight]

I actually removed the old cards, de stapeled the fabric on them, and recovered

I stapeled mine around the back, pulling it tight. Would of prefered to use glue, but it worked

I want to do this for sure. My only problem is i have checker plate door cards which the previous owner has rivited into the door and i darent take them off because i dont want to shee the holes that the idiot has put in my door. Hopefully i could fashion some door cards from MDF or plywood and give old terry a bell about material. Definitely in the mood for a revamp now.

What are you doing regarding the indicator lights? I'm using the original 2 clock binicle mounted behind the dash, and I need a way of having green indicator lenses on the dash...

[darky32]

I have a 3 clock set up mounted behind the dash the same way as yours, I have fitted these in my dash surround and taken the bulb section out of the back of them allowing the original indicator bulbs to light up the green bezel

If the makes sence

Yes, makes perfect sense, I was thinking this way but didn't know if it would work, thanks

[darky32]

Yes it works a treat
