DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

Just getting back to 'other car posts' and always liked this one Andy - great to see the Singer in action and your interior looks great.

Ooops

[quote="Lightweight_911"]I eventually managed to secure a suitable 400mm steering wheel:



So. once fitted, it completed stage 2 of the interior transformation:



The same wheel as my old Sprint GT, and a loverly thing to twerl...
Great looking car, enjoy!

Any update since your last post, Andy?

In anticipation....

Time for an update - unfortunately a stupid accident which required minor surgery (involving 25 stitches in a finger) put a stop to working on any of my cars for several weeks (still not fully mended) - hence the lack of new posts in this thread.

The floor covering was very labour intensive requiring making 20+ separate paper templates (using heavyweight lining paper), transferring these patterns to the Hardura & then painting all edges of each individual piece with satin black paint - to reduce the tendency to 'shed' felt fibres.

After experimenting with stitched vinyl edging to the first couple of sections, I decided to abandon that approach & simply butt adjacent pieces & glue them down.

Apologies for the poor quality pictures - my digital camera has 'disappeared' & I had to resort to using my phone camera ...

Photos should speak for themselves & are roughly in chronological order:

Next on the agenda was changing all of the (dark red) vinyl-covered interior trim panels to match the seat colouring - as mentioned in an earlier post, when I ordered the Zagato-style seats from Italy I requested some additional vinyl for that purpose.

The relevant parts to be recovered comprised rear side panels, parcel shelf & door cards - plus trimming underneath the rear window.

Then, with all of the trim & seats put back in:

Lovely work.

Nice Andy. Looks lovely.

Lovely work Andy. Complements the exterior colour beautifully.

Mike

Excellent work! Love those seats too, so period, and so unlike anything modern, and unlike anything else!

Just loverly...

All the best

What they all said... great work and love those seats!

Alright I suppose.....





....for a guy with seven fingers!

Those seats look really cool!

I just love the look of those....
