Thumbs up Interior almost done

I spent most of the afternoon working on my interior before hitting the engine, let me know what you guys think.

This pic makes the red look funny, it's a lot darker than that, just stock red inteior pieces.







I need to pick up another steering wheel, the old red one doesn't go well with the new black dash.

For those of you who don't remember, my interior was all red when I got the car, and the original dash hada huge crack in it, so I opted to change it to red/black.

What doyou all think? I'm still debating on whether or not to do the rest of the center consold in black, input is appreciated.

It looks great as is, the way the colours are set up, they have a good even blend. I'd leave it just as is, put in the black wheel, and if you can get it, change the cover of the centre armrest/storage thingie to black. Like that, it would kick ***..

LOoks Sweet... I just finished converting my whole interior to black minus the head-liner so I know it's tough job...

Just a question tho... did you spray paint the carpet with that carpet dye?

iOtus, it's actually black interior, and that's basically what I'm doing, but I actually used vinyl color on the doors....the dash looks gray cause of the flash, it's actually black.

The seats are out of a 626, and I think I'm going to take them out soon....my local junk yard got an 82 with seats that are black with red stripes down the center, would go good with the rest of mine, so I might get them....

The carpet was dyed before I bought it, I'm replacing the carpet eventually.

My headliner is also being changed to black....mine is shot....
