Default It's done !!
, well at least the interior. I freshen it up with new carpet, seat covers, cleaned and put a coat of dye on the plastic and vinyl parts. plus more insulation under the carpet.
sorted out the speedo and put new bulbs in there while at it.







yes it's black carpet, also put an led light in the cargo area.





Before all this, I installed new rear control arm bushings and installed a bigger rear sway bar.
Now to just look at it till the snow melts......

Nice job on the carpet. I had fits putting mine in and I'm still not happy with it.

I think the carpet came from Corvette Central, it's ACC.

Looks great
I put a new interior in mine last summer, not hard but detailing / refinishing the small parts will drive you nuts.
Good job

Looks great, might i ask what product you used for the coat of dye on the plastic and vinyl parts. Think i could use some of it on my 75.

Great job!
