Yeah, yeah go the rubber peddals, my thoughts, the flashy racey ones look a little bit silly.

Cheers Sue

Excellent job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have 3 first gens, red, gray and turd brown only the brown leather seats look much worse than yours did. Passenger seat bottom is a good candidate for beef jerky.

My gray one looks almost as good as yours, my seats are thin with 217k butt time.

The red on I don't talk about, can't stand the Mazda red. Only the dash and steering wheel are in the car now.

Keep up the good work.

Great Job man! I hope to do the same some day. I have the burgandy interior in my 7. I have everything I need to convert it to Gray but the headliner. Did you use black or gray carpet? I was thinking of going black carpet.

I dunno what that steering wheel came from. but I don't like it. No offense. It just looks like the one in my truck. Not very sporty.
