The interior is finished





The Pascha interior is finished and the car looks terrific, I picked it up from the trimmers yesterday and drove it home this morning. The more I drive it the better it gets as it recovers from sitting idle for 9 years

The car is finished

I am off to Melbourne in the morning to pick up the car from the motor trimmers, I have gone through the restoration with a take no prisoners attitude and I have used the best parts, the best mechanics, and the best painters and body builders, the motor trimmer has a very good reputation so I feel justified in expecting the car to look sensational, the only down side is it has cost about double of what I had budgeted for.

Off to Melbourne to get the interior restored





The car is off to Melbourne Friday to have the interior restored, as the photo's show the interior looks every day of its 31 years. I brought the original material for the seat inserts from Germany and although it cost Aust$1000.00 my motor trimmer assures me it was a bargain as everyone in the trade believes the material was no longer available the car will be finished in about a week.
