Looks nice. From the "old" pictures, looks as if the door panels, seat covers and parking brake console were the only pieces needing attention. Did you end up replacing the WHOLE interior?

Seat covers, foam, door panels and hardware, carpet, parking brake console, rear compartment. I spruced up my center console too. Everything else just got a good cleaning.

Thanks for all the compliments, but I can't take credit for the seats or the carpet. They were done by Corvettes Etc. in Charlotte N.C. Dub is the man!

Now that your interior is newly completed (and looking mighty nice, I might add), you need to take a vow that you will never again put any petroleum-based "protectants" 
{can you say Armor-All?} on your interior parts. You should use polymer products like "Nu-Vinyl" or "Meguiar's for Plastic", instead of the other 'junk'. The polymer coatings will not yellow, will not peel, they will keep your vinyl/plastic/rubber/fiberglass items looking like new. (Yes, you can use it on vacuum hoses, water hoses, sparkplug wires, electrical wires with plastic insulation, TIRES!!, etc. etc)
You can clean these parts with just a damp cloth, and then put another coating of polymer stuff on top of what you have. You will be amazed at the results and never have to worry about your date/wife/mother-in-law getting greasy 'protectants' on their clothing again.
