INTERIOR: Jason took the interior

to Resurrection Trim to have the

stock bench seats and door trims

re-covered in simple black vinyl, with

retracting seatbelts and a pumping

Sony stereo. The boot was also

covered in lush black carpet for a

clean, practical finish

DASH: Smoothing the dash off left

the issue of how to operate the car’s

many functions, like wipers. “The

chrome button is the horn, while

the other buttons run things like the

electric thermo fans,” Jason says.

“It removes all the switches from

the dash, and I even rejigged the

headlight switch myself”
