DIY interior re-trim

As inspired by ZOOMBY, here are the pics of my personal leather trim job.

As its the first time I have done this myself. There are little area's that could have been better but its hard to spot as tested by the wife & friends who struggled to find the imperfections. However, when you do it yourself you know where they are.

Haven't done the seats. I'm no fool & wont try. The doors are what was desired & am happy with the results. So here they in both finished & work-in-progress condition.

I'll get some more pics up later. Am sure everyone gets the picture. Its not a pro job but its cost me under $200 & is genuine leather hide. So I'm going to call it a "Value for money" job
