Finally...a new interior.

After many years of procrastination, I finally overhauled my interior. New carpets, headliner, upholstery (used to be light sand cloth) which required a rebuild of both front seat frames, and I dyed the interior with SEM. Quite happy with the results.

Beautiful and tasteful! Nice you didn't "personalize" it into the "no resale" category (If you ever go that route).


Did you replace or rebuild the seat foam?
What color exterior? Any photos?

Came out fantastic! Hampton vinyl?

I can't wait to get my new interior completely installed! Thanks for the inspiration!

Re: Finally...a new interior.

Thanks for the compliments! Lol send away! It took me a full month. The dyeing took the longest. As for colour, it's the same as the one in DynoDave's sig. Bright Red. Seat foam just needed to be worked a little but not replaced. It was the actual metal that was all bent out of shape. In particular the side bolster. Dragging myself over them while getting in and out really bent them up. The drivers seat pan springs were all broken so the passenger seat pan was swapped into it's place. The drivers pan was rebuilt using a bungy type system and placed on the passenger side. To be honest I can't tell the difference. Both seats are very comfortable and feel the same.

Yes, Hampton. Wanted to go leather but glad I chose the Hampton. It's very soft and I'm happy I went that route. Not excessively hot in the sun either. It's very convincing. Other than the lack of the farm fresh smell, it's hard to tell it's not leather.
