Default Did a little work tonight..... *pics* interior

C3 world,

I did a little work tonight on some interior parts. Reprinted to try to make them look respectable. Nothing major.... Came out ok considering this is my first time doing anything of the sort on car. See pics below



Map pocket reprinted from original color of buckskin. Went with a lighter shade



Gear shift bezel painted black. Not a great pic



Door panel originally blue and reprinted. Bought used on eBay. Great shape!



This might be a faux pas but I painted the inside of the door handle trim. We'll see what it looks like tomorrow when dry. Just wanted to try something different



Carpet kit came in today as well... Buckskin. Can't wait to get it in




Had to put this pic up even though not even related to this forum. It's a year younger than the Vette. A 1978 Honda CB550 I worked on over the winter and completed last night. Just fine tuning to be done

Little done today. I removed the seats and carpet from the car. No major surprises under the carpet. One hole on the passenger side floor plan and one on the driver side. Nothing major which can be repaired without replacing the floor pan. No major rust on the floor. I thought it would have been worst
