Citroen C3 tour de Corse 2018 #5

Now some interior work.

Safety cage, i plan to glue it prior to paint. Do not like when seams are visible if i paint before.

Interior tube serves as jig for easy mounting.

Not convenient to paint it as one piece, but still ok for me. Painted in C8 silver.

And according to manual, painted in black incl. some small decals.

Interior tub was painted in silver.

Lot of tools and small parts into the cabin.

So, all these parts placed on the interior. The spare wheel in the instructions is face down, but I don’t like it that way, it will be looks face side on top. I placed the jack and screwdriver on white glue so that they would not dangle around the cabin.

Now we can make the seats, as first remove the seams.

Before applying carbon fiber, painted in black gloss.
Unfortunately, carbon decals are not contrast at all, it is hard to recognize a pattern.

Added seat belts from box.

Seats can be installed. Ends of seat belts will mount to safety cage after its installing.

Then prepared door panel parts.

They can be mounted onto the safety cage.

Now i mounted safety cage in cabin and fixed belts to the tube.

Last part is dashboard with steering wheel. They are pretty simple. Steering shaft can be preassembled before painting.

Ready. Most challenged was central decal on wheel. Need to check that small colored button on decal matches with the real one on the part.

After installing dashboard i can call interior done.

After wedding with chassis.
