So this tuesday ill start. all my door inserts front and rear, center pieces in all four seats are getting upholstered. OPINIONS PLZ. I own a winning blue 8. The material im going with is the carbon weave pattern. The color is similiar to the winning blue but a little darker. Pics should be up definately by Wednesday maybe Tuesday

I just did my seats in leather. was a PITA but it came out good. I highly recommend getting a set of snap on cutters (dikes) I had a cheapo pair and wore them out in 1 seat and bruised my hands in the process from having to squeeze so hard. I stopped the snap on guy and got a good pair. was like 50 bucks. well worth it the hog rings suck. let me know how the door panels go I gotta do mine but it seems real hard so let me know.

okay i have pics but you are not gonna be happy... or maybe you will be but i am not....this is a lot harder than you think.....but this is what im stuck with.....i ripped the driver side seat cover and now im screwed

my car has only the driver seat in it and im not sure what to do...i hate myself












.














okay so i lied.....those are in progress pictures...yea i kno ima bitch..lol
heres pics of the seats done and a nice video since i almost pissed you off..
o and i need some advice on doing the door panels...all i can thikn to use is maybey some helmetine glue and lay it like youd carpet an enclosure bc those inserts are molded to the panel and you cant wrap it around...



























okay so youtube video is taking a while to process ill post asap
overall im pretty happy with the turnout but i need to figure out the door panels
o and by the way the sewing was done by a local custom car shop upholstery shop

Good job, as well.

I did notice in one of your pictures that there seems to be a lot of rust(?) under the rear passenger seat cushion. Did you have a water leak?

alexanderiv99

I took the door panels apart entirely when I upholstered them for my customer.... There are pics on the forum here somewhere, it shows the lower portion of the door with illuminated crossovers in the rear lower and I cut out the factory speaker grill in the shape of a rotor up front. This entire plastic panel was upholstered in black vinyl. The top section should be able to come apart as well. All that one should need is a soldering gun and plastic melting tip from what I remember.
