New interior done and engine bay detail.
Just finished up recovering all my seats with the kit from Hawks.
Turned out really nice. Now the whole inside of the car is just about brand new. I did carpet, headliner, visors, sail panels, dash pad, shifter and radio plate, and many misc. trim pieces. It turned our really nice! Then spent an after noon detailing the engine bay. Not bad for a 25 yr old car that has lived a hard life.

That looks great! Very nice job!

Wow that interior looks amazing. How many miles on the car? It looks like it could almost pass as low mileage

Re: New interior done and engine bay detail.
Thanks for the complements on my work. Never expected to take this project this far, but I am glad I did. The car has 95,000 now. Also I went to a local cruse in last night, was surprised to see some nice looking 3rd gens there. Usually most of them that I do see are a but rough.

Re: New interior done and engine bay detail.
Interior looks great! My seats are ok, maybe a little worn, but I should take it to the next level and get new covers. Were they hard to install?
Engine bay also looks awesome. Great work. Hope to see your car sometime at a cruise in.

Re: New interior done and engine bay detail.
They were not that bad at all. Just make sure you have some good cuters to remove the old hog rings. Also buy a better set of big ring pliers like the ones at Harbor Freight. The pliers in the kit are a joke. It only took me 8 hrs start to finish. Although the head rests are a pain. Covers are super tight. Had to pop some stiches on one side to get them on, the used a curved needle and some heavy thread to redo the stich after they are on. For the money all in all it is a good quality kit, close to a factory fit and finish.
