Got some work done today.

So I got bored today, and seeing as I cant drive my car, I figured I could make her look good!

Anyway I made a trip to our local fabric store and picked some fabrics up. And here is what I accomplised!

Sunroof Ruff.



Door Card Ruff.




And the finished product!







Still have to do the small panels between the rear wheel wells, and the headliner (which will be grey not skulls)

I think it looks good for my first attempt at this kinda thing!

Thats why I kept the upper grey on the upper part, and then the carpet/grey on the armrest/ door pull

Headliner like I said will be grey just like to be different Plus I dont ever plan on selling this car, if it goes anywhere it will be my garage when I'm an old retired man or the scrap yard from being driven as far as it can ever go.

While skulls aren't exactly my taste, you certainly did a good job. Should come together nicely.

Thats the plan My headliner is not salvageable though, but I've already found another with the factory Grey one that I'll be picking up. Hopefully picking up a new starter and sunroof latch too.

Then all it needs is the floor to be finished (coming soon!) and a new muffler (soon as well) then I may be able to drive it

Looks very well done man, not my style for sure, but I can appreciate the work you put into it, good luck with the rest of the build. I feel the same way with my Fb, I'll never sell it so might as well personalize it
