OK..big day. Lots of visual progress happening.

Picked up the covered console from the trimmer yesterday...nice job!!!!!!

They matched the GM grain vinyl they used for my dash.

Today, its carpet time, followed by seatbelts and fire extinguisher mount. Also fitted the Bluetooth hands free unit for the stereo....small box that velcro's to the inside front of the console.

Front carpet was fun...had to split it in halves to get it in easily. I had my interior trimmer put a wide stip of velcro up the front to hold it together. At the back, the seat tracks will stop it moving around and the console holds it down.
Console needed a little adjusting to suit the carpet thickness, but fits really nicely.

Tomorrow...hope to get stuck into the kick panels, park brake and the front seats.

Thought I might update this thread....interior is nearing completion....seats are in, finished the door trims today.
I'm sweating on the motor trimmer to finish the damn backseat that he's been sitting on since ....well, forever it seems.
