Default Wood interior

I was just wondering who sells a wood interior kit for an 80'

I remember seeing a few in some magazines... mostly ones that where applied over the old interior. Anyone use these and have input?

Thanks,
Jeff

Found the one in Ecklers. Not bad less than $100 but it uses 3M adhesive to stick on.... not sure how well that will hold up to hot summer days or if I can peel it off. Regardless I'll have to wait I might be moving and I gotta see how well my new shifter fits in the center console.

I bought a "Deluxe Leather Interior" package a few years ago. Leather seats, door panels with "wood inserts" and a wood peel and stick console trim. The leather seats are great, side panels ok but I can hardly get my fingers behind the door pulls, and the faux wood stuff sucks. Door panel "wood" raises up all of the time snd the console thing never did stick. I'm a semi-retired carpenter and plan to make my own wood trim for the interior; someday, after I get all of those other projects done. Really.

I got the wood inserts from Ecklers about 5 years ago. Got the wooden steering wheel from Summit Racing last year...

I think I got the wood interior for my 80 from Ecklers too. I remember buying both the expensive real rose wood and the inexpensive fake rosewood. No difference. I returned the expensive stuff and installed the other about 4 years ago. Still looks great with no lifting. Be sure to follow the directions and really clean the console, etc before applying the adhesive.
