As above, thanks to AndysR making the new wiring loom, Blacky now has her new interior from a t5r, strangly enough a the doner car was black also lol.

The interior isnt in bad condition at all and ive a really good spare t5r front seat cover to fit when i can summon the energy for the drivers base, but its not that bad and im in no rush as the hog rings are a nightmare to fit lol

Sorry for the poor pic's the poxy phone camera doesnt really do it justice

Looking smart, I see you couldn't be bothered to drag it out the garage to take the pictures and I feel it's the poor camera operator who is responsible for the poor shots not just the camera ;)

I'm feeling that a whole lot more than the velour Gav but could see your point on the full leather sweaty arse thing...
I really don't know what to do about my interior but I know I don't want full leather.
Are the seats ok to change? I've read horror stories of the electrics not working etc after a swap.

We tested the seats worked before fitting them buddy ;) after the wiring was made (as my wiring wasnt there) the front were a doddle, but the backs were a nightmere to get out.

Cheers buddy, they are alot better than some ive seen in the past, but not perfect by any means, the driver seat cover is cracked, (not holed) but ideally in the future i will fit my soare cover to it. The rear of the front passenger seat still wants cleaning more, as it was covered in mould where the interior was stored, again its not to bad but i want it as good as i can.

Whats to do??? put the ac back in, black cars with dark interiors are a b*tch in the summer, my 540 was dark with black leather, but luckily it had an ac compressor the size of a t5 engine ;)

No i bought a extremly good nsf seat for the Gul from Belfast, and i saved the cover off the old one for a rainy day.
