Show us your coupe's Customised Interior

[Bearman]

After looking at the "show us your coupe" thread I got to thinking about interiors and the fact most of us are pretty conservative with them. I know I was getting my seats re-done in the NOS houndstooth cloth.

I also understand that a lot of people, particularly GT/Cobra owners really have to go for the NOS stuff to keep the originality of their cars.

Also I was looking at the Orange XB Coupe on Australian Muscle Car Sales. This thing has a BA XR6 interior worked into it and it looks FANTASTIC!! Does anyone know this coupe? See link:

Also the photo on the other thread of MEANXBCOUPE's interior really got me thinking.

We'd love to see more custom interior shots and info surrounding them. What was involved? Where did the ideas come from? Who did the work? Cost? Are you happy with it? It's all good info on a part of the car that doesn't get the attention it should.

Post away.....

I don't know how we are going to go with putting our son in the back once Gary decides to put the two bucket seats in. We chose the colours before we found out we were having a baby. No eating or drinking applies to everyone who gets in the car and no dirty work clothes or shoes!!! I freak out when I see a mark on the interior.

Love to say I did all of it, but ,I cant sew for #^&$!.
The Boys at Exquisite customs ( were I now work as their head fabricator) did the fabric work, I did the wood work.
Some before shots as I think they tell the story.

THANKS!

But always wanted leather or a combination ...... absolutley along the lines of Meanxb's coupe!

Glad you brought up about the marks as I did think it would get a little grubby as its a colour I was intending to do. I was a little worried about it as I do use the car alot. Might go back to black as per original but fitted carpet and a bit of black suede accents ..... all yet to be decided on!

A few.
Heres proof it was me, thank the wife for the shot



The boys had at work. Simon standing, Scott sitting.



Please dont ask how much it cost, as each job is a one off.

[MEANXBCOUPE]

Have a good think about what you want to acheive with the car, if mine was a daily driver, I would not have gone for a bone/ beige/ putty color. The few times the car has been out, every time, a new mark appears.
I use Meguires products to clean the suede and carpets ( Meguires carpet and fabric cleaner) and a trade secret is prepsol or turps for stubborn stains/ marks on the vinyl. Works for stock trim too.
When the car went to its first show, we weren't allowed to drive the cars in the Sydney Olympic pavillion, so it was pushed in at about 1.30 in the morning. The tilt tray driver helped out. With greasy gloves on!. I didnt notice untill the show opened at 7.30 that morning.
Got the marks out, thank God.

All i can say is is you have the best coupe i have ever seen I've said it before and i'll say it again F#*K IT'S NICE! :

Black interior with suede accents would look great in your car Dave. Speaking of fitted carpet, ours needs a new one. I hate the way it doesn't go all the way up the front of the car :

Looks great! Clean, customised but defiantley Landau! Love the idea of the dash insert and works well. Nothing seems to be really altered and could be all put back to original easily ...... not that you would want to though!!!

thanks i like the look of the standard landau interior as you know it seams to spin people out when they find out that rear bucket seats are factory so i kept rear seats and trim factory .I slightly modified the original gauge panel .i replaced the clock with factory tacho out of falcon. fits in perfectly and looks factory and now finished it off with the custom one

Here's some pics of ours...













The skull eyes on the foot pedals, gear shifter and skulls eyes around the DVD player all light up! It's a bit of fun!

that interior has a great theme ,it certainly does not lack speakers.it would be nice to cruise in that car and turn the stereo up and listen to the classics like ace of spades from motorhead. :sm_headba

Hey Colin
Its a Full Billet Steering wheel made by Dragway (SW64) which I had wrapped in Leather as I kept burning my hands on it on hot Days. It has the same Flame Design as our Dragway Mags. Also not in the Pics is a Billet Flame rear view mirror with the same flame design. Gotta Love Flames!!!

Cheers Jack

[Falconunbelievable]

Hope its ok to post this here, you mentioned current coupe interior projects so I thought it would be ok?

As some of you already know we have just started a resto on our Landau. Anyway over the weekend we picked out a cream colour we thought would look good but it is a fair bit lighter than the original parchment. We were also thinking of getting the dash done to match but a few people have pointed out the likelihood of glare on the windscreen because of the light colour. The car wont be a daily driver but we want to drive it and enjoy it as much as we can, so we are unsure whether to go with the dash or just leave it original?? MEANXBCOUPE I notice yours has been redone - have you had any dramas with it? Would you do it again if you had the choice?

Here is a pic of what the new colour will look like, I am going to check out the next darkest cream next week before we order (we have two young boys so I may decide to go darker yet lol...) The upholsterer uses Scottish Leather - so it will be seats mostly leather and the rest vinyl to match. Carpet at this stage is staying Brown. I have also put up a pic below of a Landau interior I saw on the web some time ago and I saved it to my computer under the heading 'dream interior' - this Landau has the dash redone to match the seats like we are thinking of doing. We have been quoted $200 to do it in Vinyl. The whole interior is going to be around (say it quietly and quickly...) $7k... : Thats for everything mind you - every console, door trim, hood lining, all the seats, new vinyl roof etc etc...





Any feedback much appreciated!
cheers Lisa

We have found that the roll cage doesn't get in the way too much as it is only 4 point cage(half cage). Bit squishy when you try to get in the back - Our son hits his head everytime he gets in and out - but other than that, we don't have any issues with it.

I think it is more of an issue trying to negotiate your feet over the racing harnesses as they are bolted to the floor behind both seats.

What about you Colin? Do you find it hard with the full cage??

hi guys i find the full cage fine. Plenty of head room even with the padding. getting in and out is fine up front. Dont carry passengers in back . My seats arent reclining and would be a bit awkward due to harnesses. As car is engineered with half cage and harnesses i am not suppossed to have back seats in it and is now registered as a two seater. When i do get in the back cleaning etc head will touch padding not sure if landau buckets sit higher though. oh and you also loose the sunvisors with full cage but thats what sunnys are for so cage on i say
