Just when you start having fun on the computer. Wives have a way when you start having fun.

When you get done with your interior I could use some good help. Yours looks awesome. :cool:

If I didn't need to replace all my calipers, I would be doing my interior right now too. I think I am going to drive it like it is for the rest of this year after I get the brakes fixed, and pull the engine / tranny next year and clean all that up for the winter project.

Keep up the good work. Looks awesome!!!!!!

Really looks sweet and it's obvious you've put a significant amount of effort into getting it that way :cheers:

I think that was the point when I saw the carpet go in that I became obsessed with finishing the car.
there is nothing wrong with motivation

Default Re: interior getting closer (SIGNGUY)

Thanks for all the complements. I really was motivated last night and installed the drivers seat and tighted the forward and rear console. I had to use a hair dryer to soften the forward shifter console to get it to fit against the gauge panel, heat, press and heat 'n press some more. I drove it to work today. Man was I enjoy'n the ride, first time out in the vert since like last Oct. Hopefully, I'll finish it this weekend. BTW the color is med saddle, with ACC med saddle 80/20 carpet. I wasn't sure about the carpet color when I first viewed it in the box and thought I made a mistake and should have bought black instead, but now that the carpet is in the car with most of the interior, I think I like it better than black might have looked. :cheers:

If I finish it this weekend, I'll post more pics.

Thanks again. :seeya :seeya
