thx for the compliment.
got most of the interior ( seats, roof doors steeringwheel ) out of a 84 firebird that destroyed itself ) for 400 euro.

now I have to warn you If i would do it again I would do a couple of things diffirent.
1) use 4th gen front seats
2) I would reuse the old console lid, but also put recloth it with white vinyl .
3) lay something over your dash pad, ( reflections in window )

more pics

Re: post pics of your interior!!

actually I dont worry that much, the vinyll is easy to clean with a spong and a towel and some mequiars gold wash. the dash and stuff are easy to clean, jou just have to see that you dont make spots on your cloth. ofcours I dont go in my car with oil and stuff on my hands.
but im gonna have to redo the interior anyway. do to leakage of the T-roof some of the cloth pieces rotted . but by next year I will redo the interior cloth part with a little bit darker grey tint ( not to much, they dont make my color anymore so I have to go to another color)


btw, I also have those T-roof inserts you put under the T-top zo that you cant see thh glass anymore ( winter modus ) and they are also white vinyl.

anyway, I hope I gave the topicstarter some idea's , now he just have to make it himself or vind a interior car tuner that can do it for him.

you definitely gave me some ideas... i dont think white will match with the car being a metallic blue... but it made me think of a black/blue interior... now i just have to think of something for the dash...

is there a place you can get them? i have an idea for them as well...

and another question about the vinyl... ive heard good and bad things about it... like it cracking easily...

Re: post pics of your interior!!

my car is burgundy color, and its actually grey cloth withe vinyl. the car itself has the silver heritage stripes on top of it.

I think if you would do white or zilver stripes on your car you could get away with a white interior.

about the roof inserts, actually I think you can make them yourself out of a piece of cartboard ( or something that is stronger then that ) put some foam on the lower side of it ( making it softer ) and then cloth it.
for the vinyl cracking, I would say no, but I did notice some small cracks a couple of months ago. ( where the 2 backseats touch eachother ).
funny part is, thats the part of the car that is the cleanest and never gets used.

well, my idea was to do the seats black with blue inserts, andd the same with the door panels... much like what youve done with the grey/white...and then figure out what to do with the dash... i'll look into making those inserts... im still not sold on the blue/black...

and im a lil worried about the white, because i have a tendency to get things pretty dirty... haha

oh... and is that a 4th gen cluster or an aftermarket one?

Re: post pics of your interior!!

I honestly dont know. I bought the interior that way.
2 owners ago the car went into a interior tuning shop. and those people did it, but the shop doesnt exist anymore.

but I think its somekind of coat you pu over it, somekind of vinyl or something.
think they used this.
http://www.foliatecshop.co.uk/shop/f...eba6ebacfe9748

because on my center console they used some wooden parts around the glovebox. wich is just some woodsticks with that walnut color over it. and it looks like it was put on an then some coating over it.

Re: post pics of your interior!!

you can try to airbrush it, but I think putting a film over it would be easyer.
