Default Old Red to New Black interior for My 81

I hated the worn out red interior. I replaced the dash, carpet, seats covers, door panels and door rubber. This is my first attempt and it turned out pretty good.
Sorry, but they are links

:cool: That looks pretty nice. I currently have the interior out of my car and hope to have her looking as good as yours.

:cheers:

I got the seat covers from someone on ebay, and recovered them myself. I borrowed the hog nose plyers from a friend. at first I put them on wrong and they fit over the ropes used for fastening. I had to readjust them... Still it wasnt to hard. The dash was the hard part. I purchased the dash from Al Koshe. I had to do a lot of trimming and adjusting. espicially the glove box.
