Looks fun…and your car looks good. Hope the run went well and was trouble free

Gary, love the car! Could you please take pictures of the interior? I am not a fan of the black interior in mine.

Wow, TWO running Opel GT's in one place!
Imagine the odds of that.  :o

Thank you sir! Well done. Covering the centre console is a stroke of genius. More motivation to tackle mine.

Sandy covering the centre console was not a option. The Po had cut it into several pieces and covered it with fake fur . So had to reassemble it with fiberglass.

Very nicely done!   :beerchug: Did you do all the work yourself?

As for your console, there are always options. You could have gotten a new console but I agree that covering it makes a big difference and the results speak for themselves!

Another thumbs up on the console! Mine looks almost beyond repair but I begrudge £150 for a new padded one, I wonder if I can tackle hiding a multitude of sins with some leather covering........

All that you see is my work.  I even had to create a new door card for the right hand door (the steering wheel is as received)

Then you are to be congratulated. I had my console covered along with the crash pad but it was something that showed so I paid an interior shop to do it. It came out good in my opinion but I don't think it's any better than yours!

Good job!!!
