For a long time I had planned to do a few custom things to the interior. I had already made custom made door trims and sunvisors but I also wanted to spruce up the centre console, the glovebox lid, and the dash fascia. I bought some spare parts from DatsAndy including a dash fascia w/ gauges, “Datsun” text rocker cover, “Datsun” stainless steel vents (seeexy), and some extractors. Also some unpainted wiper arms. Also have a set of orange decals from Gerrie at lisadecals. Got most of these parts on by Lakeside but didn’t get to fit the new gauges or rocker cover in time.

















Idea was too paint the items orange to match the body and to use the same fur fabric that I used on the door cards. Thanks to Levey for the console badge.

Parts before:




Parts painted:




Console 99% finished: Still need to find a way to finish off the exposed fabric edges.




Also made a Datsun logo stencil and sprayed the glovebox lid. It came out okay but there is a little bit of overspray on some of the letters. Might make a better quality stencil and try it again.










Installed:




Lastly was putting some detail on the dash fascia and getting it ready for the spare gauges. Hand painted some detail on the round faces and the lettering. Plan is to get some LED lights to replace the dull green ones. Thinking about backlighting the new console as well with an LED. Still need to install all these.
