Finally "finished" my interior

Just wanted to share what I put together in my weekend warrior. It's a been a strange combination of parts for a long time (2009-present) but I don't think it will change much from here on out.

I bought the car with a beat down stock interior. Gray carpet, black seats and console/dash.


As part of my LT1/T56 swap I moved from auto to manual and added a stock manual shift boot and a sparco **** I had leftover from another car.



A friend turned me on to a good deal on seats so I jumped on them without doing any measuring



They clearly did not belong in a third gen as my head stuck out over the windshield. About this time I bought a black carpet set for the car and had my 8 point roll bar welded in.



The arm rests had to come out which left my already crappy door panels looking extra crappy. I also managed to sell those seats down the river and buy a new set of very slim buckets for head clearance reasons



Recently I finally got motivated and created new very spartan door panels, and ponied up for a matching steering wheel to replace the 20 dollar special I had put on when I bought the car







Let me know what you think!

Cheers,
Steven

Nice job. Looks like it's ready for action.

The seats, those sexy buckets. That wheel, thick and simple. The carpet and panels, a juicy black. I think you did darn good on this interior.

Nope, never truly finished.

Went through today and installed a pair of hella supertone horns and replaced the wiring through to the column. First time I have had a working horn in the car and it is loud as all hell.
