Im sure you've heard this a million times but great job!

Although you really need a better looking wheel setup and a drop in altitude.

Thanks for the compliments! I installed the finished seats yesterday. I now need to remove the hardtop and apply the headliner. Also need to shampoo my floor mats they look like crap compared to the freshly shampooed and spot-free carpet.

Yeah was planning on Alpina 17's and eibach pro kit springs... but bought her the X5 and my M3 this year, and my wife would kill me if I dump more money into a car that is strictly in storage.

Forgot to share this... td325ic was kind enough to shadowline, ACS sideskirt, and drop my ride! I kind of like the chrome, but drop and skirts are money. Now taking donations to make this happen.

wow!! amazing car!! Your post inspired me to pull my 325 out of my backyard after having her sit there for nearly 10 years. I know its a crime and I should be shot... I'm definitely going to make it up to her though and put in as much time and effort as necessary to get her back in tip-top shape. I'm working on the mechanical stuff now but I will definitely revisit your posts over and over again and try to get the paint and interior looking as new as when I first bought the car in 1995 if not better. I also have a hard top but that will be restored years from now since it needs the glass and seal which is nearly impossible to find. Once again thanks for documenting everything so well!!

OK, almost done! The upholstery is completely installed, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Taking the time to carefully install, along with a superior kit from Kevin made for the perfect result. I would say this car is ready to go to car shows!

And on to the pictures!















Now time to show off some detail...











AND NEXT... SUEDE HEADLINER!!



STAY TUNED!!

looks pretty awesome. did you have the back of the front seats recovered as well?

[audiquattrot]

those seats look awesome! good job

[myfirst325]

damn that interior just gave me a chubby!

[///M42 sport]

question, did you have heating elements in your front seats?

[bimmerboy12]

Thanks guys.
I used the original seat backs as they were in good shape, just needed a good cleaning. These are not heated seats, but according to the directions Kevin supplied me, his kits are compatible with the heating elements.

Glued in the headliner tonight! It was a little tricky at first but got the hang of it and it looks AWESOME. Just have to trim and tuck all the edges...





MMMMMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmm.......... Suede. Kevin custom made this for me.
