Default Full interior swap

So I found someone parting out an IS300 and it has black interior with leather seats. I've been wanting to swap my tan interior for black interior since I bought my car and the deal is too good for me to pass up. I work 6 days a week, and the car is 4 hours away, so I only have one day to get everything out of the car, which is limited by an 8 hour round trip. Can anyone give me an estimate of how long it would take to get everything out? One friend is going with me for sure, maybe 2. None of us have ever taken out a full interior like this though, so we don't know what to expect. We took a good portion of my interior apart to put my new speakers, head unit, and subs in awhile back. That was no where near as extensive as this will be though. I'm assuming headliner, dash, and carpet will be time consuming. So I'll be searching on here looking for any and all info I can on how to remove this stuff. ANy help is greatly appreciated.

If this all works out I'll have before and after pics of it. I know it'll look a hell of a lot better than my tan interior.

Once you get the driver's and passengers seats out it's downhill from there. The dash is the only hard part and that's not too hard either.

I ended up not going to get it. I just didn't have enough time to go get it unfortunately. Hopefully I'll find another interior sometime.
