Default 1988 Interior

Since I bought the car in 2012 I have spent over $2,000 getting the interior respectable. Here's my list of parts to date
New door panels
New steering wheel used button and emblem
New sun visors
New dash pad (bought off Craigslist was brand new)
New shifter console
Radio bezel
Drivers side halo
New leather and new cushions (getting them done right now)
New flat piece to replace the crash pad passenger side.

New arm rest cover
With the seats coming out to remove the sheep skin covers I am going to replace the carpet. It is aged and the drivers side has worn through so it takes from the car's overall appearance and to a degree negates the money and time I have invested so far. The other advantage will be chasing a bad ground wire that has the hatch ajar, low coolant and anti-lock warning lights on. When the headlights are on the door open chime dings non stop.










Here's a pic of the seat foam.

I believe the reason for the low coolant light has to be connected to the anti-lock and hatch open lights since they all came on at the same time. I'm told it's probably a bad ground wire under the carpet on the door sill drivers side.
