Budget Interior Finally Done
After almost 20 years my interior was all banged up, ripped seats, broken door panels, ripped speakers,speaker grill kicked in, screws missing, snap missing for the top, hood release broken, shifter limp like a 70 year old man, shifer boot ripped all over the place, seat belts broken, rear mirror falling off...on and on
I fixed all this for under 200 USD Sorry my pics suck...my Camera is on its last legs

My seats came apart at the seems on all four corners, I pulled the bottom cover off and had it repaired at the local shoe repair shop. I then used some leather softner and worked the leather until it was soft again. The trick with the seat covers is to use military grade zip ties to but he cushions back on...Instead of those crappy hog clips. you can thread the zip ties through the rods on the bottom and clip them to the wire frame of the seat, but leave them lose, when you are done putting the outer edges of the seat cushion back on you can tighten all the zip ties...really cool ! MY IDEA
 The only problem I had was with the stapled portion, I think i used the wrong type of staples and they kept coming back out, I ended up using black duct tape.

Nice work! Did you use Wilk's sleeving method to tighten up your shifter? How about some pics of the speaker enclosures? I fixed mine up about 5 yrs ago but they are due for another repair again...

Ok Here are some better photos...
I used flat black on the grill...I am anti gloss anything...except the protective stuff that is too shinny for me.  The shifter boot is very easy...I used the warm it up slide it on method...does that count I should add...good buy to that dumb equalizer  You can see how someone put some sticky crap on the dash next to the cig lighter...that is crunchy and will not come off...I was thinking a Porsche badge would go over that nice...also notice the door panel grill is pulling out a little on the drivers door...I need to shim that some way so that is stays...I had a little rubber bushing in there but shut the door a couple of time and it falls out.
