Reassembling the 403: Interior, 2nd phase
8 June 2015
The 403 is back in Bedosti's place now, and Andrea and Mimmo are beginning to take care of the details. Its special Anemostats are fabricated out of delicate aluminum and they really look 'aeronautical'. Such a nice detail.....
No, I'm not so fat, it's that the driver's seat has been provisionally locked in a position that is very close to the steering wheel...anyway, it was good to sit again in the 403 after so many months
Without the wood panels to cover the wiring, the dashboard still looks messy
Front bumper reinstalled with its aluminum grilles, correctly painted in silver
Rear quarter light latch looks tidy

Mimmo restored the sun visors so they are now as good as new
The rear curtain disappears under the rear shelf
The original seats have been recovered with new leather, the old grey one being too far gone to be saved
The map lamp on the passenger's side illuminates a small area under the shelf (appropriately)
Dashboard gleaming in its appropriate straight-grain rosewood and lacquer
