    you're sooooo close.

    headliner and sunroof really came out great. bet those 2 rear corner patches won't be noticeable once you dye the edges.

    I think your interior cloth+leather turned out really well. will look even better once it's installed in the car!

    hes down sizing and i dont think is taking any more orders.
    wow hadn't heard that. there's plenty of demand out there for e30 interior work, and he's definitely great value for the money. I ended up going a different route because he couldn't find the oem houndstooth fabric I was looking for.

    total cost was about 2k i believe for the seats, since the car didnt come w/ a back seat i had to trade for one with an armrest

    I don’t have much of an update since; I took this weekend and most of last weekend off the build. I did get an eta from forum member and that took a few hours to work out the kinks and the cost of that didn’t allow me to spend fun money on the car.
    So, last weekend.
    We finished the install on the headliner and moonroof
    Surprisingly I did a better job on my side than my dad did however, both of us stink at installing headliners.
    As you can see from here, the back corners are the hardest. This is my side.



    The fabric just didn’t want to rap around the corner. So we glued in extra and will dye the edges.



    After that was in we could then finish the sunroof rails and tracks. That wasn’t all that hard, just time consuming. From the underside you can see that I still have some work the stretch out the wrinkles but it’s at least coming together.



    So many people don’t know, but there are apparently 2 sizes of these windows, depending on how poorly they made the body of the car. But I can tell you this one is a snug fit. I'm not sure if this is the bigger one.



    After a 14 month wait, the seat kit finally came in.



    I know this isn’t for everyone but, we both really like it.



    Much of our weekends have been eaten by spending time at the junk yards looking for plastic clips and all the other little things that break and are NLA. <.<
    In about 2 weeks the seats should be ready for install

    forgot my real camera yesterday, so please excuse the cell pics.
    I spent the day double checking wires, installing the electric sunroof mechanism and then the headliner.
    Custom Car Interiors Sacramento, Igor's friend made the headliner.


    started the install with my dad but, he had to cut out early to work on a friend's car.
    So i was left to my own devices and have never installed a headliner it took me a long time to get it in.


    I used 3M 77 spray glue and a ton of binder clips to glue around the back window and back door.


    the back listing wire giving me issues. ill look at that over the weekend when in cut the moonroof hold.


    installed the back glass and deck




    not much left to do



    im sunburned, body is in pain and now at work.
    i hate this car right now
