I just completed gutting my entire interior and redoing every suface, none of it is hard but it's certainly time consuming (took me 2 months of pretty regular nights and weekends).

Pay super careful attention to how it all comes apart, bag up all screws in separate baggies for each item (door panels, door pockets, seat bolts, seat belts, "X" trim screws....etc) Take lots of pics for reference later.

The carpet kit will only be the carpet, but should include door pocket carpet, all floors, and rear seatback carpets. I made new panels for the rear with good success, cleaned up and colorchanged the back deck. You could re-make the door panels or buy new ones. Seat covering kits are available from many places, the list goes on (but don't expect to find one comprehensive "kit")

As noted above there are a bunch of threads documenting this process, you can click my blog below as I did a play by play with a bunch of pictures of mine. Good luck, search is your friend, ask questions
