So instead of getting a Cobra intake and 65mm TB for my upcomming HO swap I decided to have my front seats re-covered in the factory leather/vinyl combo. The seat faces are leather and the sides are vinyl. The upholstery shop I used was able to locate some factory material to re do the seats. Just a word of warning: if you have smoke gray leather and it needs to be fixed get it done soon. This material is very scarce and it took the upholstery shop 3 weeks to locate enough to do the seats. The price wasn't bad either: $950 for both seats.
Some more
Oh yeah I also installed a console :D
This is what it looked like before:hick:
Looks nice man,but 950 dam.
Coulda got an A-trim supercharger or aluminum heads for that price.
yeh 950? whoa.. but the seats do make the interior look new. i think the seats really define the perception of age of an interior. lookin good.
nice!!!!!!!!!!!
very nice!!!!
Very nice.The interior looks great.I was going to have mine recovered,but found a killer deal on a set of replacements for about 25% of what the shop was asking to recover my old ones.
Thank GOD my seats are cloth! I have one teeeeny rip in the upper driver'sseat on the side. No way is it worth fixing yet. I have put covers over the seats for posterity, however. I do need a center armrest though. Mine is DONE. How is the one you took out when you put the full console in?
that looks awesome.
Mine is toast as well. I had it covered it with a cover my mom made out of some left over gray fabric (see the last few pics). It was leather as well and it cracked all to hell. Yeah it was $950 to do it to factory spec in leather/vinyl but if I wanted all leather and no vinyl it would have been ~$1,400 for both :eek:
That looks really good. Some may say that the cost was too much but hey, it put the seats back to factory specs and it was done right. I hope to have mine redone in the '88 within the next few years.
Looks clean with the console and leather. I WANT LEATHER!
seats look great.It was worth the money,those seats will be good for life now.
Yeah you cuolda got engine mods, but i'd have rather made the car look like it does now inside [NICE BTW!!!!] instead of how it looked before... that is a night and day change.
It would be cool to have the ~20 extra hp a Cobra intake would have given me but I opted to get the front seats done. The engine bay and exterior look really good but the py looking/feeling front seats were really starting to bug me. After all when I drive the car I sit in it and I want to sit on something comfortable :D
Paint that console son.
Matches the dash fine. I also cleaned it before I installed it. For some reason in the pics it looks off. I don't know why :dunno:
That interior is AMAZING! Good choice. Definately going into the "save" bin so I'll get Layla's redone when I have money.
You might even be able to have it done for less as you live in a less populated area than Chicago. It seems to me that the further away I go from the city the cheaper I can get interior stuff done and still get the same quality work.
BTW you wouldn't happen to have a driver's side power seat side cover would you? Smoke would be nice but any color would do as I can easily dye it.
