I went a bit darker than original tan interior which can be seen on the 2 door panels next to it.

For the center console I had them duplicate the stitched look from the Anniversary Edition model.

I am pumped to install it once it warms up a tad.

Nice work, how much does something like that set you back in the US?

Looks great! I especially like the stitched console. It's going to make your car look like it was custom made. Have you decided what you are going to do with the door panels?

I had the entire interior redone in the same color.

Front Seats, Rear Seats, Rear Qtr Panels, Door panels, Ctr Console, and matching boot.

The front seats had the foam redone and firmed up, the rear seats had rust that had to be stripped and coated and some padding redone.

The cost was around $3,500.

Hi Unplugged
Did you also have to repair your seat frames? Mine are buggered....
I am expecting around the AUD$4k mark as well.

Fortunately the seat frames were in good shape.

Going to be a great looking car! What color exterior? Are you re-doing the dash, too?

Upper Console matches lower console.
Exterior is Blue

The seat in the picture is the original color.

I am planning on redoing the dash in Bird's Eye Maple. Inspired by Denise's dash. Engineered wood flooring from Home Depot makes a good base. Cuts clean and is stiffer then plywood. I used contact cement for my first attempt and it did not work out too well. I bought the veneer 6+ years ago so it was very dry and not very flat. The contact cement setup too fast to allow me to press it flat. Live and learn.

Album of restoration progress to date.
