Reveal! Lennon's Interior

The reveal... premeditated suspense or pure laziness? Both of course!

This project has taken a whole host of a number of factors:

Blood
Arguments
Stress
Teamwork!
Aggravation
Respite (or lack of...)
Disaster

This may have spelt an acronym, but I cannot confirm that.

Lime. Green. Seats... YES!

However, after five months, I am proud to announce that Lennon is finished! From a car that was initially purchased as a runner, which it wasn't and turned out to be a car that was borderline extensive in its repairs, we have turned this car around into something that is deemed worthy of a finished project, and a family of happy faces. From learning that Lennon was subject to a fire to revamping both the interior and exterior as well as the engine and general ride, this overhaul has been a tough, yet satisfying attempt at a restoration and leaves me hungry for more when the weather takes a turn for the better.

I am sure that readers of the Brighton Breeze report earlier in the month had noticed that the first exterior shots of my car had been revealed and now I would like to reveal the interior shots of Lennon, which arguably makes the car and gives it an individual stamp within the VW scene, or just around the local area.

Coca-Cola Door Handles, an accessory only found on Coca-Cola branded fridges. Double up as an excellent door handle!

It screams different and quirky, and that makes me very happy indeed to showcase and express myself, with a pretty awesome car.

Here are the photo's followed by some detail to what you're seeing:

An EMPI Bumper Bar. EMPI are the most prolific company bar VW themselves in the scene.
Why? Because I'd hate to be rammed up the arse by a tw@ in a KA.

1967 AA Badge. These were synonymous with members of the British roadside recovery giants The AA as members received one when they joined, to which members would place their badges on the cars.
I enjoyed defacing one and spraying it Lime Green.

As much as I enjoyed defacing a VW badge.

BRM Wheels, I mentioned these in an earlier post, but the BRM Wheel links all the way back to the F1 racing team in the 1960's and Graham Hill through the Speedwell company.

A classic wood steering wheel to compliment the interior. Note the dark green carpet too.

Gear changes are easy and smooth with a EMPI quick shifter and Hurst gear knob. The original Hurst gear knob was black with dirt when purchased, but is now gleaming!
