It's finally done! The full interior now sports the same wonderful kopper color as the outside, as well as a black suede headliner. There's not a speck of that ugly grey-tan left in the car. Next project... tv's and seatcovers/upholstery. Now if only I could get some money to do em..

That Looks Awesome.
Im trying to stay low profile. However I could still do some interior stuff. What dash kit did you use or did you roll your own. Looks great

Thanks. Thats all paint in there, 2-stage expensive stuff, no dull stickers. At the least it's easy to take apart the parts on the dash and rattle can em if thats what you're up to. Doors are a little more difficult because you gotta gring the glue off and glue em back after you're done.

How hard was it for the dash stuff to come off? Was there special fittings holding them on?

dash is easy, all pops off, start at the bottoms of the grey pieces with a screwdriver covered in cloth (so as no to hurt anything) and they pop out. Then take the ***** off the AC controls and there's a couple of screws and viola! the whole center comes out. I can send you some pics if you find you need them, just pm me.

you dont, they're glued as well. take off the negative terminal on you battery and then take the star screws outta the back of the steering wheel. There's 3 wires to pull and then you get the whole middle piece, mask it off and spray away.

Good job.
