Message This has been a long time coming for me. I've been wanting to get rid of the crappy tweed interior since I bought the car but it seemed like something else always came up that I had to take care of first.

I took out all the interior panels and had a local Hot Rod interior shop recover them, I think he called it Ultra Leather but Im not sure. The stuff is very soft but at the same time durable. He did an excellent job and even covered some of the panels in foam to make them a bit nicer. The previous owner put some horrible speakers in the door panels that distorted them pretty badly so he sanded them down, put some new chip board on and recovered them...came out great. He ordered 4 yards ($50 a yard...Whoa) and and labor was only $400 for all the work he did. It was all well worth it and when it was all said and done I got an insanely good deal.

While the interior panels were out of the car I took the opportunity to paint my roll cage and clean up all the wiring from the previous owners system. He cut all the wires to take the amps/speakers out =/ It was a mess to say the least and took me quite a while to get it all out and put the way I wanted it.

I still need to do a lot of work though. Center shifter trim is broken and crappy, need new floor mats, have to clean up the plastic hatch pieces, etc. But it's so much better than it used to be.

I got the Bride's from Kip (NismoKid) They are very nice and actually very comfortable. The seat brackets took 3 months to get here from Japan but they are nice and were worth the wait, bolted right in.

Anyway, on to the pics. As always constructive critisism/advice is welcome.
