Darker parts are not black actually, but dark grey instead. The door cards were reupholstered. I severed the parts and took them to a professional to be covered with a leatherette.
I'm back at home now and will continue working the car tomorrow again.

We're not so far from the finished mod anymore .
Some assembling has still to be done though...
Yesterday Eric continued piling up the doorcards and they're done now.
Today there was quite a mess in a car when we removed the old front seats.
Eric relocated the belt tensioners from old seats to the new ones.
I did the wiring for the subwoofer gain controller.
The controller knob will be located in a small compartment on lower left in a dash. I made a hole for the cable and put a gasket to cover it and to make the hole look finished.
Eric wanted to clean the carpet throughoutly before installing the new seats. That was actually a good idea.
After vacuuming and AutoGlym Interior Shampoo.

I'm working on weekdays and last two weeks I've been out of town, so the progress with the car is slow...
