Interior complete FINALLY (with pics)
When I got my car the interior was trashed. Mice had inhabited it for about 3 years, the prior owners were smokers, and it'd been thrashed in a police seizure years earlier as well. There was also a hole around the driver's feet that you could almost go Flintstones style with, as well as a smaller hole behind the driver's seat. I repaired the holes and made the interior metal rust and sound resistant.
The original interior was camel colored with camel carpeted door panels and solid backed (no headrest) camel colored seats. It was sorta bland looking to me. I ripped out everything but the dash and center console and replaced most everything. Some plastic is original, but most of the interior comes from donor cars. Its not perfect and it looks a little used and worn, but a big improvement I think. What do you think of the changes? Especially the Camaro seats and the mix and match door panels?
----------
Wow, the camera makes everything look a different shade of brown. The carpet is a bit faded, but everything else matches up pretty well in person

Re: Interior complete FINALLY (with pics)
Thanks for the door panel offers guys, but I think I'm good actually. I like the look of those panels with the seats and the rest of the car. I'm not a big fan of the carpet on the door panels, I like the sleak leather look.
Thanks for the compliments guys, this has been about 2 months of work finding stuff, repairing things I never thought I'd deal with, and then putting things back together from 4 or 5 different cars. (three main donor cars)

Re: Interior complete FINALLY (with pics)
Nothing wrong with that! I have Camaro seats in my Firebird in the front. The back are factory. I saved the back pouches from my old Firebird seats with that hope that one day I will sew them on the backs of these Camaro seats. The Camaro door panels look good with it too.
