Default Spring Cleaning!

Finally pulled her out of the garage to give her a good cleaning. These aren't the greatest pictures, I just wanted to get some while she was clean.

They black leather trim with black and silver suede inserts. Not sure if you could tell it was suede by the picture. Am hoping to cover all the plastic with black vinyl this spring/summer. That should complete the interior.

Yes. They have black suede on the upper door and Silver suede in the lower part. Not sure if I am going to leave the black suede. Thought about going with the black vinyl when I cover the interior pieces. I guess I will just see how things are going at that time.

It was a trade deal. My father did some heat and air work for them and they said they would do an interior. He was going to use it for a 69 Camaro he was going to redo before he got sick. So he let me do mine instead. I think it was close to 2,000 for seats and carpet.

I love your color. My first Camaro was the dark Maroon they had back in 93'. Forget the exact name but is my favorite color. Was out of luck in 99', so had to go with my second favorite color (Silver).

Ha Ha! I guess that is a little high isn't it. Probably more like 1000.

Dad had it done while the car was with him for a year. I really don't know. Sorry!
