I bet that the Union Jack set on the red background is mine. They look even better in person.

I have to go out of town for the next 3 weeks or so, but as soon as I get back and fit them, I'll throw up some photos on my rebuild thread. :)

i agree you should do centre consoles. but with a glove box going off to the left on the passenger side, it would be under the dash rail.

that would give you the edge over those ugly centre consoles that everyone makes from the same template

like so

i designed it ages ago but didnt bother making it

Traffic: Send me some pictures to [email protected] and i'll see what I can do for you. I can lay my hand on practically any vinyl so should be able to sort you out. Same goes with the rear seat, i've done a tomcat seat before (sadly didnt get any pictures) so it should be do-able.


Mr Poo: Awesome stuff, glad you like them. pictures would be great for the custom gallery :)

Miss wheels: I didnt realise you wanted a centre console? :)

In all seriousness though, the market for centre consoles is just too flooded. Too many cheap and nasty products with price tags that reflect their quality to make anything I did marketable.

If I were to make them they'd have properly upholstered plywood side panels and piping/french seamed detailing instead of that god awful rubber trim thats used :)

But you'd be looking at something like £65 for something like that.

well i might fibreglass a prototype and send it to you for upholstering very soon, i will then advertise it and see what happens.

Anyway i will email you now. i was wondering would it be ok to have the retro re-trims motif embossed in to some of the items, as its now a mark of quality dont you think?

Sounds good! See- you're already planning it I can tell ;) I'd pay that for a posh center console :)

I'm loving them door arm rests, looks real tidy! Would an idea like that work for Mk1 doors... could be something a little different for my Pickup. Already had the rest of the interior off you, so why not! :lol:
Could you also PM me regarding recovering the bottom part of a Cobra Classic seat. It's brand new but someone fell over the other day and put a pin hole thorugh it :lol: :D
Just after a quote, want it to just look standard, nothing flash, in normal black vinyl.

Dan :)
