Interior
Now time for the interior to come together, so I installed carpeting, headliner, door panels and seats. I also put in electric rear windows since my engine cover prevents manually operating them. The fuzzies, windows and rear glass also went in to get the car looking pretty much ready. The last piece in the interior was to modify the Corsa dash to accept Autometer electronic gauges.
After some years in this form, I recently added power front windows and to build a custom console. I made the console out of sheet metal. I will likely redo it and will use wood. Much easier to work with and its all covered in upholstery anyway! I also had a custom carpet installed which makes a huge improvement! I never installed a Clark's carpet where I got all the wrinkles out. This new carpet is so tight, following all the corners and humps with no wrinkles. It really makes a big difference you can't see in the pictures. The hole in the passenger side is for the air conditioning evaporator drain when I get the air conditioning installed this Winter.
I also put a sub-woofer enclosure behind the passenger seat and installed custom kick panels with separate midrange and tweeter. Sounds great when the engine isn't running :-)
