Change of trimmer
I decided to change who I was going to trust to trim the car, Option 1 Sports Cars who did such a good job on the paintwork also have a small trim shop. They have a great eye for detail and only take on one job at a time, unlike a lot of trimmers who jump around between jobs.
The car was dropped off on 20th October, and they have been making good progress, what follows is a diary of the trim process to date.
30th October
First mock up of a door panel in vinyl with other areas of the car marked out to determine the pattern and layout of the two leather colours and diamond stitching
The seats I had made are not going to be used and I have decided instead to use the two Mazda MX V seats I have as a start point. The foam seats and back panels will be modified to reduce the overall width then trimmed in line with the rest of the car.
12th November
The rear trim panel that sits around the rear area has now been carefully fabricated in fibreglass and is ready for the final trim. The door panel for the near side has been completed again in fibreglass and foam covered ready for trim (no photo)
The two rear quarters have been trimmed, the centre panel is still in mock up stage in vinyl.
24th November
The original mazda seats have now been reshaped and covered, looking good.
Rear "seat" storage shelf has been completed
Central tunnel is a work in progress
