Default So yea....Summer Project 06 lol (56k=Caravan)

My interior was not in the best shape when I bought the car and being only 18 at the time I bought the car I didn't keep the best care of it. Also 2 years of college and a hardcore partier such as myself I haven't given my interior much love. I've also done this twice in the thing. Something kicked me in the *** this past winter break and I started taking more care of my car and started using my 95 Firebird to go out and as a DD. Anyways heres the damage.

Plans for the interior: Main thing is go all black with subtle red accents and silver here an there.
Seats-Re-upholstered Black with suede red inserts and red stitching (front only, rear has been deleted)
Dash- Replace front piece from factory with ebony. Smooth the rest of the dash and dye/paint flat black.
Carpet-Dynomat and replacement ebony carpet from stockinteriors.com
Interior Panels-Door inserts are going to be changed to preforrated(sp?) red leather. All plastic panels will be smoothed and dye/painted flat black possibly clear coated.
Sound-Adding a CarPC. Updating speaker wire harness to I don't know yet and all speakers. Going to run sound from CarPC, headunit and an AMP. Possibly add a sub.
Headliner-Going with a plastic one from stockinteriors.com, most likely going to smooth, fiberglass, and paint it glossy black.
That is about it for now, CarPC and sound will be my biggest task and costs. I already have about half of what I need saved up. I would love to have this done for G10 or The Power Tour but we'll see how that goes.

Somewhat that and just being apathetic towards my interior(that's all changed though, I've become an appearance **** because of this site ). Shitty friends have also contributed to this, that is the main reasoning for taking out my rear seats! That and just being ignorant on how to take care of my interior! This def. won't happen with the new one, especially since I'll be dishing out some big $ for it. And Paul I need an ebony from a 2000+ if you guys come across one, if not I'll just go to McNamara and order one.

WOW! I think that's the roughest 4th gen interior I've seen yet. Good luck with that, at least you finally came around - some people never do!

Yeah, Mine dont.. Really pisses me off! I tell them not to touch different stuff (cd player, HAVC, etc) Yet they do it to **** me off.. The thing that makes me the most mad is that I dont do **** in their cars because they will bitch.. I guess thats the respect I give to anothers but dont recieve..

That's the way to do it! I got my T/A when I was 18 and took care of it the same way. Now 4.5 years later the interior is still mint except for a broken ashtray lid which I would've already fixed, but I'm waiting to do a T56 swap which will include the upper console.

Haha, if my dad wasn't such a fiberglass nut I would, but luckily I have that luxury.
And my friends here in Central Florida where I grew up know to respect my car or else they will royaly get their *** kicked, it was my shitty "friends" from FAU that didn't give two *****, and it's hard to control people while you are driving ya know? I actually tried fighting one of them for opening up a beer can and spilling it all over the place. The dash just started cracking from the hot south florida sun and there wasn't much I could do about that. The side of the drivers seat was there when I bought the car, the big rip in the drivers seat is from a lady friend of mines bra from a crazy and memorable night lol. I can't wait to start this project, everyday I just want to rip everything out!
