Interior makeover on the "winter beater"

Post by Jake D »

I've been pretty slow on this project, but I finally put the interior back together. I still need to do a few things, but I'm happy to have the cardinal GONE and I really like the new color scheme.

A quick BEFORE...

Looks good! I love Cardinal, though, but that still looks good.

I hear ya. The cardinal was a tough one to re-dye. This was all done pretty inexpensively, so finding decent cardinal seats (F & R) was nearly impossible without dropping some major coin.

Besides, now I have something that is pretty unique as far as a color scheme goes, but still looks "OEMish".

BTW,
Special thanks to Chris and Andy for their help and contributions to this project. Also thanks to everybody else who helped motivate my lame ass.

Good Job.
What product did you use to dye the shelf?

SEMs satin black. I might redo it in Graphite when I do the headliner... someday. :?

What type of seats are those that you've installed? The interior looks terrific!

Thanks! The seats are "Flo-fit" that came out of an e24. The driver's seat actually has Recaro adapter plates, but I'm hoping that Jay will help me fab a duplicate set for the pass side. They are MUCH firmer than the old, busted-out comforts, but I like the "snugness".
