ICR Workshop

This week was dedicated to the interior. I thought it would mostly be a preparation stage, but it quickly turned into a much bigger task than expected.

The first step was removing all the dirt, dust, old paint, and residue from every interior part. It was a slow process, but now every piece has been thoroughly cleaned and is finally ready for primer.

As the interior came apart, the inspection revealed several hidden problems. The passenger seat has damage that will need to be repaired. The steering column had been heavily covered in glue from a previous repair attempt, and the steering wheel turned out to be completely broken. None of these issues were obvious before disassembly, but they all have to be addressed before the model can move forward.

I also completed and test-fitted the updated artwork that now continues seamlessly from the door into the rear quarter panel. This new composition feels much more balanced and better supports the story I want the design to tell.

Progress isn't always about visible changes. Sometimes it's about uncovering problems, fixing what others overlooked, and building a solid foundation for everything that comes next. The interior is finally ready for its next chapter.
