Ok in the quest to make the car look "pertty" I plan to do both new paint and a new interior.

To this end I have been amassing the following bits and pieces.

Exterior- 968 door handles and mirrors along with an AIR splitter.

Interior- Newer dash, door panels, center console (all in need of the 928 leather shop treatment) and a NEW wool carpet kit in Tan. I want to go from an all black to a tan and black interior.

The exterior needs a small dent in the right rear quarter panel fixed and the header panel vented. Otherwise it is straight.

So the question is which to do first?

I saw pint and immediately thought

I'd personally go with the interior first, but it depends on whichever looks worse.

Whupps fixed it. although a pint first might be needed to get the carpet out.

Best solution would be to keep gathering parts and $$$... rip out your interior, strip the car, paint the car+interior then slap the new interior in...

stripped interior means you can repaint the jams too

paint first- all that dust and overspray is hard on a new interior.

you could pull all the interior, carpet etc, clean up the floorpans and give it a nice shot of white or something to make it look spiffy

I always wanted to strip all of the carpet out of my car, paint it and just have black metal everywhere, that would be pretty cool.

You guys who want to paint the interior, take a peek under the carpet and you'll change your mind.

IPSC, if you can't do both at once, I guess you have to decide whether you spend more time looking at it from the outside or the inside, and which bothers you more, or makes you happier

BTW nice picture in the calendar, I'm going to put mine up in the garage on June and wait for summer to come around...

I was going to paint the interior until I rolled up the carpet and saw all of the glue and foam. Doesn't mean I still don't want to do it.

This is how I did it, and it worked perfectly. Take the interior out as much as possible, then paint it, then put the new interior in. In my case, I had to drive my car to the paint shop, so I left the dash, wheel, carpet and seat installed. With the interior out, it's easy to deal with things like the door handles, mirror wires, quarter windows, etc.
