Interior Restore Pt.1

At this point everything but the drivers seat is done and I'm in debate whether to get a new red Corbeau Forza or just save the money and restore the damage the best I can.

The tear down
The old insulation had long been rotting and bonded to most anything it touched. This was the driver's side to start, the passenger side was much worse with almost 100% of the floor being black.
Luckily no rust in the spare well.





 This spare was actually about 90% orange from rust dust before the clean. Couldn't get much off the tire though.
Some old, before shots. Notice the nasty discolored old vinyl. The seat tears have become much worse since these were taken.
And the after. Very refreshed. The old to new comparison gets little justice from pictures.
No more orange spotting :)


These back panels were actually black before. Finding white ones in good shape is near impossible.
















Picked up a 4'x6' sheet of nice insulation for the tranny tunnel and had a perfect amount left over to cut and fit into the hatch area. It's been much quieter from the cockpit since.


















And here's the dreadful driver seat. I'm attempting to pull it all back together with some vinyl epoxy and a mat underneath. After, it'll get painted up like the rest and hopefully the final result wont look terrible.















Stay tuned!
