Default Scotsman's Interior

Well, its all done...no huge mods or anything, just some painting and a GOOD WASH!

I decided to remove the covers from the seats, it was easier than I thought. The covers are just held on with these metal clips:





I used Gumption to clean all the material, just scrubbing it in with a handbrush...then washed it off with the high pressure washer. Did a fantastic job, look like new inside!
I also used Gumption to clean all the interior door panels and other trim...i pulled out the center console and al little bits...you can see how clean it made the trim, the point indicated in the following photo wasnt cleaned...amazing how much brighter the clean stuff looks compared to it!



I painted some interior bits too...noting much just subtle changes that I am VERY happy with!



AND....the Climate Control is in, gassed and 100% working!!!
Im going to change the filter colour of it next week where I can desolder the screen...

Thanks for all the compliments...I didnt bother repaqiring the worn seat cushions...you cant really feel it throught the material, but at least I now know I can easily get to it to repair it when it does get worse.

Seen them in a mates car had them for a fair while. First the plastic warped a little bit so it would push on the needles and make them jerky then it just warped all out. There was also the problem in the au ones of the indicator blinking would light up other sections of the cluster. I know the expensive ones are made out of like thin metal stuff.
