Default $7.50 interior restoration.

Trying to bring a 951 back from the dead.

Thought I would try the Duplicolor vinyl stuff first. (since it is at the store down the street).

Keep in mind the rest of the interior is not done, or even fully assembled yet. But you get the idea. (dash and console only at this point)

BEFORE!!



AFTER.

I am picking up a set of black door pockets from a friend. Then I will do the door cards, find some black carpet and install some new speakers.

Also need 1 console switch blank, console lid and a few other little things.

And if you get their fabric product, you can do the pocket carpet as well... it works.

Cole,

Is the original interior color Linen and Black? What color Duplicolor did you use?

I have Linen and Black and it looks like your before picture now. The sun damage makes it sorry looking.

Nice

I did a Chevelle dash from blue to black and it lasted over 10 years. It was still good when I sold it, so probably 15 years now.

The original color is what is in the first picture.

The Duplicolor stuff only had one tan option at the store, so I picked it. Definitely more "tan" than it was before, but I actually think it looks better.

yeah, they only offer one i think....and while holding the can in your hand at the store you quietly think to yourself "...i dont know.." but once you test spray it on and after your done, you think "oh yeah!" good job again, i love DIY

Speaking of speakers. While your in there run new speaker wire. Its easy Just tape new wire to old wire and pull from the Console area then you have new speaker wire run through the car. No brittle wires for another 20 years
