New interior in the car!

Posted On: November 1, 2010 Posted by: admin

The interior is pretty much finished now, I have 99% of the interior parts inside the merc now. All that needs to be finished in the interior now is gauges for tacho / speedo, wiring for the new fusebox, central locking and alarm - then all the small bits and pieces like window winders etc need a polish and to be put back in..

Gauges in the Glovebox

Posted On: September 8, 2010 Posted by: admin

In keeping with the standard look as much as possible, I opted to hide the gauges inside the glovebox. This was a relatively simple thing to do and i’m really happy with the results.

There was no real plan on how the gauges would be held in place, all I knew when making the first cuts was that the gauges were going to have to be on a slight angle towards the drivers seat and the dimensions of the glovebox, so slotted holes were to be cut for each gauge.

Engine back in and Interior Bits

Posted On: September 18, 2008 Posted by: admin

Mercules has been away from home for quite some time now. She only just came back on Wednesday (17/9/08) and got straight to work putting the engine and dash back in. Since the last update, the shell has been painted, engine painted, new carpet along with hood lining has been completed and lastly the dash was recovered (vacuum moulded).

Nice shiny new paint all finished, couple of small bits and pieces that will be touched up once it’s all back together but aside from that the shell is looking fantastic. The engine bay came out really well and we’re happy as can be with it. Nothing like looking into an engine bay and seeing a sea of smooth surfaces!
