Twotees, I've got a pair of seats, dashpad and centre console that came out of a HZ wagon that look to be similar to those ones on ebay. Passenger seats good but drivers has a tear on the outer side of the seat base. Give us a yell if you're in the Dickson area and want to have a look. 04three8six3five2six5.

Playwme,
Will do, I will be working at Hackett on and off over the next few weeks.
I'm good for dash and console but I do also need a drivers arm rest, bit under the dash with the buckskin end, console arm rest and handbrake shroud if you or any one else can help. Also door trims but have planned that I will buy repo for these unless I can find ones at least 9.5/10
I was planning on using a full black interior but if I can come close to finding the right stuff I may as well stick with original.
Cheers,
Chris

Ok here is the two 63 trims. These are on a HZ GTS so door trims are different to sandman. But dash is the same.

The first one is 63V. This one has a grain looking dash pad. Same look as the seats.
The second is 63T (same as 63C except T=Cloth insert with C vinyl) This one has a sandpaper looking dash pad. Same as the HZ Hoodlining

Note the different glovebox, console etc etc. This is all correct! Sorry I do not have a pic of the 63C interior with a glovebox fitted.

On 63C (the sandpaper grain dashpad) and lower dash and glovebox door are Dk Buckskin

On 63V (the long grain dashpad) and lower dash and glovebox door are Tan.

Nice addon Sean. Was going to look it up but parts books are still packed away in a box somewhere from the move!

Yeah, I thought that was the case as mine is sandpaper type with the lower the same (or close) colour.
Did the seats and door trims change colour and grain type as well because mine were the long grain type before I tossed them in the bin?

Yes seats did change. Door trims Im not sure.

Seats went from long grain (V or X) trim. To commodore grain. (short grain) (C or T) trim.

Ok, I still am a little confused. My reply above was incorrect to Absinth.
I have a 10/78 build with 63V trim on the tags. So I got the V and C mixed up. The reason why was because I do have a "Sandpaper grain Dash" as per 63C.
Here is a couple of pics including the build date of the pad.

The date is 9/78 one month before the van build date so I believe it is original. So I am confused here. Can anyone help with this query?

Also I now have some seats and am looking at getting the armrest recovered. I was given a sample from a trimmer and I think this is the later 63C trim. What do you guys think. Here is a pic of the sample next to the bottom of the console arm rest and seat.

hmmm well that stuffs all the "rules"

That vinyl is C not V 100% for sure.

If the dashpad and lower fascia are original to the car I'd say the trim code has been mis-stamped...63V instead of 63C.... right on the change over .. what's the bet it's a Brisbane built car????
