Can anyone help?
Am about to order a new interior from Cartouche.
From the sample card, it is unclear exactly what it will look like, from 1" squares.
Lately, I have not seen an original interior in any pictures on this forum, or on the internet for that matter.
Anyone out there with an original interior (or new) that can help me with some pictures?
Specifically, I am looking at the seat and door panels, original color - grey.
Thanks.
 
Here are a few of the inside of my fordor. Original color was grey but I switched the color scheme to tan which was also an original color. Mine is a Cartouch kit.

This was before I got the seat back covered.

This is before I got the buttons on the back seat back.

Old Henry, nice!
2 questions.
What color was the steering wheel, and is that authentic or non-authentic material?

Old Henry,
This is what my int. looks like now.
Seat cover was replaced a while ago. Origin unknown.
I thought the original headliner and carpet was tan, but my upholstery expert tells me that it was grey, and the southern sun/heat bleached it like crazy.

The steering wheel in my picture is my old original cracked up one still painted the black I painted it in high school 35 years before. The original/authentic paint color is grey. I have since replaced the steering wheel with a little better one (not new). I first painted it Kakai to match the tan plastic on the dash board.

But this year painted it Desert Sand just because I have always loved cream colored steering wheels. Not authentic. Authentic is grey.

That's a nice looking 46. Does anyone have an interior pic of a center roof antenna for this year? I need to see an example where it intersects the dash. Thanks in advance.

Don't have a photo but this diagram may help. The antennae wire attaches to a fitting in the dash trim just below the wiper knob.

Thanks OH, that tells me what I need to know. It's descriptive where the instructions were not. Now where is my holesaw?
