1963 GT interior
Interior, well what can i say, It has been robbed of 'key' 1963 GT parts, which we are still trying to source. All the interior needs to be completely restored. As you can see its in a very poor state.

The Story
Previous owner(s) have stripped this car of its 110mph bar speedo, temp & fuel gauge. Also missing is the tacho and tacho holder that is fitted of the steering column. Fan heater has also been taken. Not to mention the 2 gauges in the console ammeter and oil pressure. We have sourced these very hard to get items took about 4 years to find.

Needs complete re-trim. Notice no ashtrays in the rear doors? Because GT's had an ashtray in the rear of the console. No grab or panic straps in the hood lining either, early Cortina's never had them.

Not the nicest color trim (grey) but still we will keep with original as much as we can. Hoodling material called 'confetti' is no longer available so something close will be used. At least its nothing complicated for any trimmer to do. :) Still a little unsure of the correct color for the steering column, tacho pod and speedo fascia any help would be appreciated.
