Good job on the make over
I just dont think the white and beige go very well with the Torch Red.

Very interesting and different idea.

I look forward to seeing the finished project and as others have stated seeing how well it wears.

Thanks for posting up the pics.

That's pretty original as far as I can tell. And $100 is not much more what I spent in my black leather interior.

slowly began wrapping and applying glue behind the panel.

constantly using the hair dryer as I wrap around - makes it alot easier

Installed shifter cover, cup holder lid and recovered middle console and ash tray
I managed to break the spring in the ash tray / lighter ( currently its my change holder ) and cant figure out how to fix it yet
Prob going to re-do it ... I dont like the way it came out + have to fix spring


Going to see if my girl friend is up more making a new boot for the handbrake out of the beige leather

2 LATE NOW!!!
I brought home like 20 samples from the leather place I went to.
They had every single color
something about the white and beige just spoke to me
call me crazy
just wanted to do something different

has anyone seen this color combo yet?
There was no way I was keeping the black
everything is so dark! every car i have owned has been black interior - I couldn't do it

I contemplated all beige for a while. should I do all white?
