Well my craziness just stepped up a little.....

For those of you who know already i need not explain. Those who don't this is worth looking...... She is not a work horse. She is my pride and Joy!

:slayer:





not completed but well on its way to see how its going to turn out!!!

:worship:

that is awesome!
did you do that urself?

any more pics of ur dobby?

Plenty around here....take a look at my gallery.

Yes all done by myself. The dashboard suffered terribly by the means of verbal abuse. Might affect my mpg later on in life. Who knows!??

yh, i have been having a nose at ur pics.

looks like u have been busy lol

Here's the door card aswell. Amazing how purple this looks in artificial light



:slayer:

Messy... Just in case anybody wonders what it looks like behind. A lot of cleaning and sorting happened before putting the dash back in!!

I don't always remember to take pictures.

During....

Is that some sort of artificial velvet ? To go to the trouble of covering things like air vents it must be very thin and malleable.

Like the speakers especially the tweeter in the door they must be firing right into your side though, have you done anything with the speaker wiring, what amp is it?

Well it's actually charcoal suede. Not as Mouldable as you may think. Just patience. Yes I've upgraded all the speaker wiring throughout and it's just a standard 4ch amplifier. The speakers in the door are never felt as the ones in the rear always out power them. It's amazing when all the doors are open and it's on. Really does give of good clarity.

It's been a project for many years. Which I have always used on a daily basis.

fair play to you mate, theres alot of time n effort gone into that doblo, it looks amazing!
not sure i have the patience to re-trim the dash like that.

take out vents carefully, screws behind them, also have you removed radio and cover?

alot has changed inside for me AGAIN. i will be back with more:slayer:

Vehicle is dry warmed stored.

Why do i do this? IT WAS MY FIRST CAR?

Visual Aids. Not hoovered, not altertered to gain 'likes'

Would have to be seen in real life. no picture can do this justice. this van has become as crazy as me, and im klnown very well for both.

i Wish you all the best for the rest of your time on this planet, heres my doblo legacy. im known for trying, and the things ive tried and done just because of owning this FIAT VAN is just insane.

I'm incredibly lucky.:worship: Doblo Dedication.
