Well guys my interior is finally all back together......been driving around for about a yr without a passenger door panel....
Broken piece...
I was able to get a good deal from another member on CL for a door panel....I only needed the lower portion....
SEM going on...to get a perfect finish you need to use the prep cleaners.....
Ended up doing a few other pieces to complete the black out look...
Trusty old shovel....It worked great for the ebrake boot....
Passenger door panel all back together...
Everything back in place....I really love this look...forgot to put the key ring plastic piece back in...but I also gave it a fresh coat since it got scratched up from key
Here is what it looked like when I first bought it....For reference on the dramatic change
Bye bye rear seats.....I spent a good hr back there with degreaser getting it all cleaned up....

Not that bad....I usually try to leave them outside as long as possible before installing them....If you can get them in the sun for a few hrs is your best bet
Also keep in mind I only did the lower trim piece in the pics with SEM....The rest of door panel is wrapped with new vinyl

Man I love seeing your progress. It makes me want to go work on my car even though I don't know where to start lol.. My interior is all tan and seeing the transformation on your car is giving me the itch to change some things up on mine.

Thanks man....I cant wait to get the new transmission in and finally be able to push the car a little bit harder....
Now that I have eliminated the weak link in my setup I can start to turn up the boost.....
Im not going for any crazy high hp numbers....I would be satisfied if I could get close to 500hp
