Default Interior restoration pictures needed

Hi !

Does someone have documented a interior restoration job ?

I need some pictures on how to mount rear seats, rear console, carpet, etc... My car came disassembled and with some missing parts, so will be a challenge to mount this with no references and no cars to compare.

Thanks in advance !

JL

You're in Rio? Well if you want to fly me down there for a while I'll help you out in person.

I think the interiors are pretty close for all years, but you might want to post the model year of your car. Also do you have rear A/C or not? That will affect quite a bit of the reassembly.

Many of us have gotten cars in various stages of disrepair from basket case (literally) to just trashed.

I took some pics while I was replacing the carpet but I don't think that kind of thing will help. The carpet is pretty self-explanatory, like a jigsaw puzzle. Each piece really only fits in one spot.

If you post some pics and ask specific questions I'm sure lots of people will chime in.

Start with carpet. Let us know what pix you need to see and we can help. After carpet, do the rear hatch pieces; big interior rear quarter panels (remember the little slide-in tabs at the back on the window shelf); then rear seat side panels (after seatbelts); then other pieces. Door panels also slide into a tab at the top after you let the wiring arm at the front, into the hole for it, and then clip with several plastic press-clips. Sorry, hard to guide someone blingly ... let us know what you need.

You need the PET Manual on your car. Its a exploded drawing of each section down to the nut and washer. I use that manual MORE than the maintenance manual.
