My interior refresh build thread

[94stangfan]

they look awesome. For those of us wanting to do it ourselves, what book are you talking about? and what is muslin?

Here is one of the books. http://www.amazon.com/dp/1931128006/?tag=stangnet-20
The other was called Custom Automotive Interiors by the same author, but it may be too old to list.

Muslin is a type of material. My aunt said it was like a cheese cloth. Very thin and used to keep your thread from pulling back through the foam. Basically when you pull your old covers off you will see what I am talking about. It will only be on those pieces that have the foam on them.

no i understand about the interior takes time and all my car is already under and i have my interior covers and everything i was just koing the idea of how much you really saved by doing it yourself i guess its something you have over other guys to where you can actually say that you made it yourself

Over the past week/weekend I put the interior back in my car. With the exception of a couple trim pieces that I need to add more color to, it is all installed and bolted down.

I wish I had true before and after shots that I could put together, I will do the best with what I have.
Before:

After:


This is with no dash and the carpet in. I noticed that the previous owner cut open the heater box so I had to replace it.


I have the dash sitting in and attempted the steering column install


The dash and console are in, but this is really messy.

Seats are in:


And looky what I found... A stock radio. And it works!



This was a lot more work than I had anticipated, but I was able to drive the car. I so miss driving this car. Next up will be the door panels.
