SSpeaker option_____and ____Re: [doc] Interior re-trim

["jamesrguk" <James_rg@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sounds interesting, I think the only issue with the 'grain' of the 
finish is on the tunnel cover and the knee pads, the dash, binicle 
and A pillar covers seem to be a fairly standard pattern from what I 
have seen.

That guy from Germany at Eurofest had has a full light grey leather 
job on his car it looked, felt and smelled amazing, but obviously 
not original.

I am going to approach my local trim guy, and a yacht upholsterer I 
have used in the past, I would prefer not to have to send them half 
way around the country this way I can keep an eye on proceedings.

I may just get a vacuum formed copy of my damaged glove box, it 
won't be fluffy to start with but I can live with that.

Also I noticed that with the dash out you can easily mount 4"+ 
speakers in the front holes by mouting them to the fibreglass 
underbody instead of screwing them to the dash, anyone done this?.

I drove to the shops his afternoon with only a moped speedo zip tied 
to the dash, sad thing is it worked better than the OEM one ha ha, 
not sure if it was properly calibrated tho!
