Hello guys!!
Tonight is a very special post for me, as I'm very proud to show you the work from these last 4 months!!

Completely finished my interior!!!
You can see detailed pics in the last posts!

All interior has been taken out, floor sanded then antirusted, then painted, insulated, new carpet, seatbelts cleaned, panels cleanded, armrest reupholstered, new seat covers, foam, new package tray...
...also fixed the rear electric windows (!!! ), now have the 4 working, and also fixed, cleaned, and repainted my driver's power seat that is also working!!!!

So glaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaadd!!!!
(Sorry for my over enthusiasm, but can keep it for me!!! )

What do you think about it?

But before... some pics of how it was before... (Please allo some time to download the pics, and them to resize! )















NOW!!

 

I think you nailed it!

 

Can tell you put alot of work in and it shows nicely done.

 

I have a couple questions. First where did you get the gold seat backs and bottom plastic from? Also what color did you order, it doesn't look quite right to me, but maybe the seats have changed that much since new? I have a '69 Cutlass S with what looks like the same gold color interior.
Thanks,
Jon

Congratulations on the interior and engine compartment work! Very nice. What a transformation!

 

Thanks Christophe! That helps a lot! Your car is looking great! Is it paint code 65? If so that is Topaz which is the same color as my car. You can check out my build in my signature for what it should look like repainted. Great job so far, keep up the good work.

 

Thanks Jon!!
Actually, my car should be meadow green (code 59)...
But seeing the totally shaded paint, It seems that it has been repainted a long time ago with this campagne/gold color!!

Really love the Topaz color, and It really fits with the gold interior, so will probably paint it Topaz instead of meadow green!

 

Meadow Green is a cool color as well. Which ever color you decide to paint it won't be bad, just pick whichever you like best and paint it.
