PI Estate interior progress

Popped in on Ian "the Trimmer" to see how the PI Estate is shaping up - progress is good - headlining and A, C and D posts are done

Headlining came from Aldridge (thanks for the contact Mike) and seems to fit very nicely - they also supplied enough spare material for the sunroof and sundry bits and bobs

Rather than the early flappy grab handles we have used "rivnuts" and fitted the later handles from a 1977 2500S

D post trim fitted with new material + this shot shows the vinyl trim colour we are using - amazingly its off the shelf leathercloth style which matches the NZ trim collar exactly... which leads me onto the seats.

We have fitted the NZ leather covers to the UK headrested 2500S frames that my PI came with - Ian has made new headrests with matching vinyl - seat need a bit of a clean and feed but leather is supple and stitching excellent.

An here is the rear squab of the estate with the NZ saloon leather modified and fitted - lovely job.

All the vinyl covered cards are made and ready to fit and the carpets are cut using the NZ ones as templates. Work is concentrating on rebuilding and patching up the Britax roof now - I was lucky to get a roll of Dolomite Sprint black vinl roof material in fine grain which will look perfect
