What's in the workshop - Dolphin Grey time

[MikkiJayne]

Looky what I found





Yes, thats a leather pack 3 dashboard, in black





Its a rare combination for an FL of twist with black dash and door tops







It even came with a Nokia 7110



While the dash and door tops are ok, alas the twist lowers are destroyed. If someone bought the car and wanted it as-is, this would be bad. However, you can guess from the thread this post is in what is going to happen next



Twist alcantara headlining, which is nice



This is the car - an Ebony Pearl FL1 which was thoroughly ruined by its previous owner. It has stood for many years and is sodden inside. The electronics are all full of water, the running gear looks like its been in the sea, and none of the doors open from outside so you have to open the windows wth the key and reach in. It looks aqua blue here, but thats road salt from the truck journey from Glasgow.



Came with four flat tyres so getting it off the truck was fun



I bought this unseen just for the dash, but it is saveable as the bodywork seems to be in good order and the engine runs well. The gearbox is unknown because the TCU is drowned but I'll put another one in and see what happens. It won't be getting the works with me though, because I don't have time or space for the stuff I already have! I'll be swapping out the interior for a standard black one, sorting out the soggy electronics and making it run and drive, and then it'll be going to a new home as a running project. I might make a thread for it if people are interested, depending on how far I get in to it.
