Finally got around to the door panels.
Yeah, so I finally got around to finishing them. Its just been a lot harder to work on my car since I moved from a house with a garage to an apartment with a parking lot. I need to get new door pull cups, but other than that they're pretty much complete.

Bout how much time and money would you say you've put into this?
I am thinking about redoing my interior eventually and was wondering how much it would cost me in teh short run.

Money? Pretty cheap actually. The Color Bond I used for the plastics and dash was pretty cheap, about $13 a can (I bought 4 total, and still have more than half can left). The prep cleaner for the color bond was cheap too.
I've got probably no more than $300 tied up in this black interior conversion/reupholstery. If you include the carpet, add $240 or so to that.
But long story short, if you were just reupholstering and not changing colors, you could get away with $200 or so I'd say.

based on that, I dont feel bad anymore. I spent appx $800 to re-do my 73 RX-3. New headliner, new carpet, door panels (all 4), rear deck lid, dash board and the back seat.
