interior ideas for 1979 Volvo 242 GT
Posted by SocialMasks@reddit | projectcar | View on Reddit | 14 comments
hey all,
i have this 242GT that I have swapped a turbo motor into and am installing microsquirt at the moment.
the interior is terrible. i have everything trim related (including the glovebox which was taken out in the pics)
but i feel like it needs more and im really at a loss to what i should put in here so id love some input!
some things so far
gauges for the turbo and their location. (on a pillar, dash or somewhere else)
different style shifter/knob (it has a reverse lockout which makes things difficult)
maybe some interior lighting?
what would you add to this build?
the car is metallic purple and has orange accents

I would probably pull that haggard dash pad off, save up for some Recaro seats and call it good. An accordion shift boot would be cool. But it’s your car so do what YOU like of course.

i have an accordion ready to go! was thinking will use some other volvo seats fron the later 850s i love my interior don't get me wrong but the gauges i see for boost look tacky and i want something that suits the car

this is a turbo build. i need gauges. not saying i hate my interior quite the opposite i love it. but i do want the gauges to work with the interior

Just paint the whole interior orange with a spray paint if you really have an urge to spoil it.

bro a gauge or two isnt molesting it. not like im going to fit some likewise shifter

That interior is peak! don`t change a thing! just give it more boost... that way you can scare more grannies
