Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Morgan Aero 8, 2012< Plus 8, SuperSports, Coupe & Aeromax Aero progress.. and a new roof!

Bit of progress..and a sneak peak of the design work going into the roof trim.

I like that roof, great work

Looks great

Well its finally back with the roof finished!
Still a lot to do (wood needs to be redone if I go down that route - still deciding if I want to change the finish), the rest of the interior needs redoing to match and it needs a good clean but you get the idea.

Back home:



And finally, the interior colours and trim reveal!


A few more shots, although it will look much better when the rest is retrimmed to match:



Still awaiting the slot in the bodyshop to open up as its been delayed, so I might have to postpone until next year with the weather as it is.. but there isn't a rush, it is a Morgan afterall.

I still find it funny that they only fitted half a dashboard to a car. You have to love the S1.

Mine currently has half of half a dashboard fitted

Need to decide on the wood, have that refitted and then have the dashboard lower panels trimmed in leather and refitted, will look a little less erm..spartan then!

I notice you haven’t got the black cheap old plastic under dash fitted.

Mines a bit cracked up. Was thinking of covering it in leather or similar.

Yes I removed it as I needed to gain access to remove the washer jets and for wiring up the roof, left it off for now as it needs trimming when the rest of the interior is done! Definately agree leather will be much nicer, I would like to get the whole lower dash done..

Few more pictures in the car, bit easier to see the stitching and detail:

Very cool.

I’ve just sent my plastic lover bit off for covering, mainly to hold it together.

Not sure how it’ll look as the edges fit in a recess and the leather adds to its thickness

Oooerr Missus......... Prefer rubber my self .......
