The "Daily Driver" Interior Thread
 

Hey everybody.

For the past six years, I have been piecing my interior together slowly as I daily drive my FC. It started out pretty ugly; no radio surround, no radio (Horrors!), stock shifter & shifter knob (bleh!), torn driver's seat, ...I could go on.

I have decided to make this thread for everybody/anybody who wants to show off their interiors. Yeah, I'm sure this has been done before. But let's face it; any interior threads floating around in this forum probably have outdated pictures.

So to continue my story for those who are still reading:

Today I pulled in the driveway after getting home from work, and looked around; I realized my interior is almost done. After thinking it over, I decided to start taking pictures. Here are a few of the better ones.

Home away from home:

Shifter, parking brake (I machined the handle & button from billet Aluminum), center console...
Attachment 695511

Passenger side view... Bet you can't guess what kind of car the drivers seat is from; it has a story behind it like everything else in/on this car.

And finally, a gauge cluster that is finally surrounded by an intact bezel. (Small victory)

So that's what I have so far. Post 'em if you have 'em. :icon_tup:

Dude, for a 70's style chiq... it looks awesome

Here's mine :)

70s style??? Wut? How could something so terminally 80s have a 70s style?

Besides, there were lots of things in auto-coolness that have their roots in the 70s.

Nice job! Now get some replacement peddle pads :)

-RR

is that a 1st gen steering wheel, I like it

Whoa... You know at first I didn't see it. But if you take away the Stereo, late 80's style curves and plastic, and left behind red shag and an oddly patterned seat, I get where you're coming from. Thanks... I guess.

So fresh! Personally I despise cup holders. On long trips I just wedge a 20oz between the door and the seat! Bam, instant beverage holder. :lol:

Yeah it came out of a friend's old GSL-SE. The leather it was wrapped in was horrible so it had to be removed. :( But the vinyl is almost perfect. I painted the horn button black and found a black Mazda logo on a B2200 pickup steering wheel, which just happens to be the same type wheel.

You need to post an interior pic man. :nod:

I feel pedal pads are for the more "Luxury oriented." (Like jaguars, factory GXL's that haven't seen the light of day, etc...) It's going to be plain 'ol grip tape for my ride.

Oh, and finding pedal pads that fit or aren't Ricetastic pink anodized aluminum with thirty 1/4-20 screws to bolt them on with is impossible in this place.

(Sorry for double post)

Being born in the late 80's, my judgement of 70's anything is a... skewed... lemme retract that last statement... and say; Nice interior, man

Thanks! It took quite a bit of hard work.

Lol I couldn't stand not having functional cup holders. Plus they were only like $2 anyway and can hold a huge slurpee cup no problem. :)

heres mine, so much time and money has been spent restoring the interior

Great interiors! This is sweet. I wanted to do this because I didn't have any inspiration to go off of with mine when I first started, so I had to develop everything on my own from scratch. It's refreshing to see other peoples ideas when trying to develop a plan of action.

I hope people can gather something from this thread.

Keep them coming! Even works in progress, clean factory interiors, etc. It's all good. :)

My beautifully stock interior.

^Clean blue interiors rock.

I don't know how you guys convince yourselves into keeping the red/brown interior.


I'm in the process of redoing my interior. I hate the layout of the interior. No room to cleanly put anything aftermarket except for cluttering it on top of the dash. I wish the layout was more like the mkiii supra's...

I'm a big fan of the NSX and 300zx style interiors, with the swooping center console. I personally think the 1st gen interiors look better than the 2nd gen.

Now that is nice.

Thanks
