Thanks! The interior was in shambles when I got it. the first thing i did was actually repair all of it, sand it down, and repaint it. now im just waiting for bubbletech replacement handle. and itll mostly be done!

You're welcome! How bad was the interior when you first got the car?

Shoot i forgot to take some before shots! but I have some pictures of restoring some of the parts! Here is what I had to do:
Fix center console tabs, sand and repaint
fix hvac **** from spinning in place, fix tabs, sand and repaint
replace the entire broken gauge cluster hood
took off the plastic guage lenses and sanded the deteriorating chrome ring (then polished the black plastic)
repaired the tachometer
replaced burnt various interior bulbs
took out the turbo timer that had wiring everywhere and cleaned it up
fixed the glove box from flaring out and fixed the switch from it being on all the time
fix the tabs on the extra plastic pieces on the side (where it vents to the door)
replaced all the door tabs with new ones. sanded and painted the plastic trim.
super glue the shattered plastic arm rest back into one piece (dont know how long that will last)
replaced a lot of the hardware that went missing.
replaced the leather boot

thats most that I can think of off the top of my head! I dont have much pictures of the progress, but there is some!
