Thanks man.

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.

Yeah, that's a real problem, work .
I'm working on weekdays and last two weeks I've been out of town, so the progress with the car is slow...
