Pff… Still worked on the Citroën ID20 convertible for 5 months, an average of 4 6-hour days a week to get the exterior tight, painted and everything fitted that belongs on it.
Now the inside remains to be done. Fortunately, I have everything ready to go..-)
Upholstery will be original grey, the original ID seats from a convertible with tilt mechanism will come in, with black leather upholstery.
And matching door panels, upholstered in the same leather as on the seats
The temporarily installed Volvo C70 (1st version) seats with electric controls are going out, they are comfortable but obviously do not belong in this car at all.
By the way, the C70 convertible seats are for sale. Creme leather, used but OK.
The rear sides will also be redone and covered with black upholstery.
The rear bench belongs to the Audi80 roof and is fine. It will stay as is.
I am still in doubt about safety belts but all the mounting points are there for 2-point belts, maybe 3-point belts at the front and rear are also possible so I will probably put them in anyway.
And the roof… there will be a new lining. What is on it now is fine quality, with new Sonneland lining but I made it myself and this has clearly not been my best performance. Completely waterproof though.
The roof frame comes from an Audi 80 convertible and is completely original at the back, at the front the roof extends a few centimetres in width and about 20 cm in length because the ID20 has a wider window frame and is further away from the roof flap than the Audi 80 convertible. Moreover, the ID20 windscreen stands much straighter and is much shorter than the windscreen of the Audi80 convertible. This is why there is no ready-made roof for sale. Having it made at a real convertible roof maker is the only solution, I think.
