Well i had a few days off and worked on the car as much as i could, My leather finally came in and i started and finished wrapping the seats, I did a few panels as well. All i have is my headliner to do along with a few minor panels here and there. Then my all black conversion should be done. My GF also joined in on the project. I should have the whole car back together this weekend.... enjoy more pics..

WOW! how much were the leather skins?? my gf's GS is in need of this!!! and i have a question about spraying the dash... will it peel in the future? or did you have to clear it at all?

This method will not peel at all. I've done many interiors and no chips or runs for years ...I prep the interior first :::: soap and water , followed by tack cloth, scuffing , plastic adhesion promotor, tack, liquid vinyl paint. Won't chip because the paint is extremely flexible and actully absorbs in the plastic. As far as the skins go; my local upholstery guy traced the originals and I installed the new skins. No clear needed as the promotor is a clear in itself as well; it works as a primer base and a clear.

Well i took a few weeks off and went back at it again ! I did a steering wheel swap on the car....wired in the ARK electronic boost controller , hks turbo timer, along with the led dash conversion as well. I also finished the headliner as well which took many coats as you can tell from the picture comparisons. These are the pics i have for now. I will take some more a bit later to show further progress.
