Inside Out Loud...

Pimping out continues.... hahahaha... I told you... I was addicted to it...I really worked hard to save my expenses so that on July 2008, only two months after I did the modification in the Retro's interior, I could managed to finish it all...
Went back to Padi Leather Seat workshop, I asked them to do the leather job for my dashboard, ceiling, A to C pillars, floor carpets, and the steering wheel.

As the steering wheel, I found it in Taman Puring, a junk market in South Jakarta. It was an old (but original) Nardi. I paid it for 200 k rupiah. Quite expensive for it was not in good condition, but the horn knob was original. I found cheaper ones, but they didn't have any original horn knob. No problem. I brought the Nardi to the chrome specialist in Joglo. It took another 200 k rupiah to have it chromed, and be ready to get leathered. It's really not bad, for a refurbished Nardi, as if you buy the new one it would cost about 2 million rupiah... :-D

Almost a week later, here's the new Retro interior :

The dashboard

The dashboard and floor carpets

The whole interior. Ceiling, pillars, all of them...

Do you see the Nardi original signature?

Then, to really finished it up, I need to paint all of the details like the door handles, the power window switch frame, door key lid, etc. I went to Ace Hardware, and I found Krylon spray paint with a very matched color. I painted it all by myself. Really not bad for an amateur painter... hahaha...



 

Now I'm really satisfied with the Retro interiors... Couldn't get any better...
