Ok so it took longer than expected to have my seats redone. The foam in the front seats was shot and had to be completely replaced. I picked them up from the upholstery shop Monday and was able to install them in the car yesterday. :) I am VERY happy with the results. I had to add my own custom touch to the leather because the stock design was kinda boring and plain. So, here are the results.
The seats are 100% leather, no vinyl anywhere. Let me know what ya think. :)

But wow! What a difference, the black and tan is a nice combo. How much did the recovering run ya? (If you don't mind me asking)
Thank you. Yeah the covers were ugly. I only left them on there because the seats were uglier at the time lol. The entire job cost me $1,500.00. That included all materials and labor.

So here's another small update. I wanted to carry the black and tan two tone to the floor, so I ordered me a set of weathertech floor mats. I love them, they fit like a glove, the rear ones had to have some minor trimming, but the fronts dropped right into place. They fit great and stay in place, it's near impossible to move them. I love how they look too. Here are a bunch of pics:
The box they arrived in:

And here they are in the car:
I ordered the mat direct from weathertech.com. I also took her to a cruise-in today in my hometown. This is the first show I've had the car at this year. Here are a few pics of her at the show with my minions :) :
Well that's it for now. My plan now is to get the few little dents in the car pulled by a local PDR shop, rebuild the gauge cluster, and get a nice sound system in the car. Let me know what you guys think of the car so far. I will update this thread as I get more done on the car. :)

Nice job with the interior! I need something like that in my car. Leave the top down for the summer [emoji41]

Thanks. Yeah I got tired of my crappy looking interior and decided it was time to fix it. It's nice being able to drop the top and not worry about how my interior looks. :)
