Home away from home

At long last mostly finished with the interior! I will try to neaten the rubber sill plates. New ones are out of the question as they are extremely expensive. I think thr color combination on the car worked out well even though it is non original.
Next project is to refurbish the water pump. It is very noisy and I am carefull not to drive the car.

A fine job and a standard by which to judge other bathtubs! I love the interior paint, it looks great!

Barrie, a job to be proud of!

Interesting how they flipped the steering column shroud 180 deg to put the wiper and direction controls on the right side. If the "normal" H-pattern preserved (towards you and down for first gear) or is it also flipped? I presume the accelerator is in the "normal" position, to the right of the brake pedal? Senior cars in the mid thirties that were RHD usually had the accelerator between the clutch and brake pedals, no doubt because the cabin width was much narrower.
