Hello everyone. Just wanted to share with you my Cabriolet interior and sound build. As of now it's just an interior build but I'm planning to get it lowered and probably have my auto to manual transmission swap. It's located in convertibles only forum and it seems there are not much of traffic so here's the link if anyone is interested:

just posted over there, very very nice work! I'm impressed with the interior leather and door card work. Top notch work!
Thank you. Now is to finish the rest of the interior and to start working on mechanical part. Then... [drive]
So this is where you've been posting! LOVE the seats. I've been trying to get my wife to make door cards and recover my seats. What sort of sewing machine are you using?
When it's time I'm happy to help with any auto to manual questions.
I am almost never on here so PM me if I don't respond
Thanks for the kind words everyone ;-)
Grillage - I'm using a Juki industrial machine. I'll definitely PM you regarding the manual transmission swap. I'm already tired of my auto transmission. It's no fun to drive.
Just a random picture from my last photoshoot.

The quality of the work looks absolutely stellar! Big props! while i like two-tone it is a touch over the top for me, but literally just barely i think an all black steering wheel with just red stitching would tone it down a bit. but honestly, the work looks amazing!
Thank you Ruffiano, I appreciate your note regarding the steering wheel, though it is as it was planned from the beginning and looks great personally resembling the whole concept of black sides and red inserts. And again thanks everyone for your feedback. Interior part is finished, now is the time for exterior and mechanical part...
I hope you didnt think my comments were mean, because the truth is, you did amazing work.
I'm curious what your plans are for exterior and mechanical? what do you have in store?
No problem Ruffiano, I appreciate your comments and don't think they were mean :-) . Everyone has their own opinion and that's great! As for me, I just always loved two-tone steering wheels and preferred having them in my cars. Regarding the exterior and mechanical part I just got my car lowered on 2Bennett coilover kit and will definitely post some pics later on. Also planning on swapping for 5-speed tranny soon.Quote:
