Default interior

Hello,

When it comes to the interior and projections/radiuses etc has everyone put a panel on the interior of either side of the car. I was planning to use thin carpet glued to the inside of the grp and have the plastic coated steel showing.

What is everyone's opinion as as far as IVA is concerned.... ?

David

I have seen some builds without anything but steelwork and glass so I am guessing its personal preference but I could be wrong

Ally panels to the chassis sides up to where the scuttle sits.

Two slots booked for Wed/Thurs 18:00 if you are interested David.

I saw a 7 kit at a show and the guy had used that really thin ribbed rubber that you see in the load spaces of estate cars http://www.par-group.co.uk/UserImage...er_matting.jpg
It was on the gear tunnel and glued to all the side panels . He had all the flutes going the same way and I thought that it was a neat weather proof solution. He capped the top of the tunnel edges with 10mm very thin ali angle and polished it along with the ali gaitor hold downs for the gearchange/handbrake. Cheap but very smart imho.
