a match.... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif) I think THAT is beyond a simple Dye job, unless you want to dye it black, and then it's more work than it's worth... better to pull, and start over... that is the most hideous interior I've ever seen! |

rust free you say ? Group: Members Posts: 16,375 Joined: 7-January 05 From: richmond, Va. Member No.: 3,419 Region Association: None |
Did you find that thing in the Gayman islands? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/icon8.gif) I have died two interiors, both from tan to black. I don't recommend it because in both cars the seats would get tacky in the summer heat, and one of them actually started coming off. YES i used SEM and YES I did it correctly (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/flipa.gif) Reupholster that "THING" What does the outside look like??

I went with a camel tan interior and ended up having to have the black sunvisors and black knee pad dyed. to match the seats/doors.
To make a long story short, it worked very well. Whether it wouuld work on part that get alor of wear, I don't know. |

the seller says it was the previous owner who did the custom leather Job. I'm in NY and the car is in Washington DC.
I am trying to figure out how much work it is going to get it to the point where my wife would actually take a ride with me. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wub.gif) It has lots of new and reconstructed stuff. around 800 miles on a rebuilt engine. Some surface rust under the front corner windshield and rockers. (weighting to see pics of rocks and underside. the seats deed covers at the least and dash is crack. owner drives it about twice a week. keeps it away from snow and salt but has not garaged it or covered it. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) It aslo will need seals replaced. he didi say if they leaked or not just listed them as needing replaced. I am looking for a fare price and seeing if its is in my budget this year to get it anywhere near presentable. I could live with the outside color for a short shot time like maybe next summer but this custom job has got to be fixed real bad!!!!!! Attached image(s)

You, my friend, need a can of interior trim paint... I have changed Mustang interior colors in 1 hour.
The paint is good on any surface you aren't sitting on. M |

Check on E-bay under 914 upholstry. There is someone on there that sells a kit to recover the door panels, and bidding starts at $40.00 (I think) It is the correct basketweave material. If the panels themselves are shot you can buy a sheet of masonite from Lowes or home depot for about $8.00. A full sheet will make 4 door panels! There is also someone on E-bay (maybe the same person) that sells a kit to recover the dash face. Again, with the correct basketweave. Our own Morphenspectra also has a lot of great products on E-bay as well as here in the vendors area.

Its just a piece of fabric... its glued on. Rip it off, or cut it out... a razor would work good.
As far as the guage cluster... take it out.. mark all the wires, take the guages out of the piece of metal and repaint it. Should take you an hour to do everything for the first time. Good luck! You'll be much happier. Oh ya, You might want to cut the fabric on the door panels to see if the original basketweave is still under there. Andrew |

if interior is the only thing holding you back, go for it, I bought GREAT stock seats for $75 each... I spent more on door panels, but that's because I wanted custom... interior is pretty cheap on these cars in the grand scheme... but I would look over that car with a fine tooth comb for rust... and shitty repairs of rust...

Lou,
I like MOMO, but that steering wheel blows (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/barf.gif) Did you see the fireworks at Soboba tonight? Drinking some wine on the balcony doing a little WiFi. |

Just missed it, neighbor told me that they were gonna have their fireworks tonight, I could hear the sound bouncing off the hills behind me, (Simpson Park). Yea you probably had perfect seats from where you are. Tomarrow fireworks brought to us by Valley Wide. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)
