INTERIOR:

The twin-bench configuration of the cabin remains, and while the interior retains its original flavour, it has been tastefully contemporised. Angie Gordon at Angie’s Custom Trim wrapped the pews and factory inspired custom door trims in anthracite leather with silver stitching, and while Paul opted to control the C4 auto via a B&M Street Bandit shifter, the factory steering wheel and radio remain in place. Making the steering column collapsible while retaining the standard twirler was a mission, and Paul used a combination of XM, XR and XY parts to make it happen. The gauge cluster is from a Mercury Comet – essentially the same as an Aussie XM cluster, but made from steel instead of plastic. Paul sent it to Dakota Digital in the States to be outfitted with a full suite of digital gauges. “I wanted it to still have that original look,” he explains
