I had stripped the interior of the car to take a bunch of videos to help people work on their own cars. It was a rainy day so I thought I'd set up the camera and take a video of the entire cabin rebuild. About 5 hours of work time lapsed to about 5 minutes.
These cabins are a work of art. Beautifully constructed so they can be pulled apart and rebuilt over and over with no breakages, squeaks or rattles afterwards. There are so many screws and clips that hold everything together like an interconnected solid mass. Very different to how other car manufacturers build their cabins. A joy to work on. Hope you enjoy.
