Soft dash restoration

The heat reflective sheet and tape arrived today so that'll be
fitted soon, good for over 500C or 1000F so that should do the
trick with a bit of luck.

I'm also considering moving away from the wood look on the doors, dash and
centre section around the gearchange, i'm contemplating doing them gloss Black
to make it look a bit more modern inside !!!

Hi,

Great project!

Please let me know where you got the heat reflective sheet and tape.

Cheers.
 

:)

Cheers i'd have thought in the N/Y

thanks Henry

Hi,

Got the self adhesive sheet from Demon Tweeks but it's just not sticky enough for my application
so i haven't used it or the roll of tape.

We're going to wrap the cats instead with a sheet of very similar material that you lock wire in
place or use metal cable ties. Got that from Holden vintage & classic

A lot of places sell these products inc good old ebay but i prefer to buy from known suppliers

No problem Spiggy, i'd imagine if you used some good contact adhesive then any of this sheet could be stuck in place and also help the sticky sheet to stick :)

The sheet and tape i have is www.thermotec.com

Looks a bit moody to me, could be a right handful a bit skinny too,

ahh the crazy ones are usually the best in the sack..

as for skinny.. i was going to say i prefer built for speed not for comfort.. but then i realized.. i have a range rover (or two) - i still prefer a girl built for speed not for comfort though !

I prefer curves, Carol Vorderman shape does it for me :)
 
The chassis is almost finished, fuel lines are done just need to fit the heat wrap to the cats, started sorting out the loom and painting the floor in the shell now

Cats are wrapped and the wiring loom has been cleaned, re taped and is pretty much back
where it should be.

The new body mount bushes/bolts are lubed up ready for it to go back on the chassis.

Apologies for the crap photos they're off my phone, i'll update with better ones off my
camera
