Here you guys go this is the first full interior job I've done. I felt like making my S14 the gineapig. The light kinda makes the colors look funny in my opinion but its black on black with cloth mesh inserts kinda like the Sentra SE-R material. I matched the quarter-panels with the door panel inserts because i didnt like how plain it looked in the backseat area.i also did the package tray and center console armrest to match. hope guys like it and if not please let me know

Dude, I think youve found a new night job. That looks fantastic!

Did you redo the leather too, or just the fabric inserts?

And if this isnt your new part time gig, you mind doing a write up of the process? I hope you took pics as you worked.

thanks for the coments sofar guys. im to lazy for a wright up but ill be more then happy to answer any questions you guys might have. oh and as far me doing this for any one on here you guys would have to hook it up with the sewing machine cause i did this at wyotech and im working on getting some sewing equipment. me and a few friends did a 48' mercury for a guy that has alstimers <-------dont know correct spelling. that car will be at the sacremento autorama and will be featured in rod & custom magazine around april or so. we did a custom headliner with pleats on it and an insignia of RR that stands for Rons Ride that matches the insignia on his firewall. we also did the carpet and put that same insigna in his heel-plate.

i completely redid the seats. unfortinately i did not take any pictures as i did because i had to rush to finish it in only 2 weeks but i think my buddies or instructors may have gotten some pictures as i went. ill have to look into that. asfar as doing this as my job im still not sure i just began to send out resume's. im more of a perfomance & fabrication guy myself, suspension geometry and engineering is what i love. I will also begin todo a manual swap to my s14 shortly and ill probably do a right up on that if we dont have one already and fabricate my own suspension arms or subrame bushings.

VERY nice man! Only issue I can see is that console armrest is gonna dig into your arm pretty good if you rest it there for long. Still, awesome job! \

BTW, welcome to NICO!

One of the nicest interiors I've seen here on NICO. Theres a select few that have an awesome interior layout - you are in that elite group in my books!

Good job!

HOLY $H!T!!!!!!!!!!!! I thought I was looking at a new car bro. I've seen it done and all they do is fully disassemble the covers to use as templates for the new fabric. Thats the easy part. Then they have to sew all the peices together to fit exactly the same as the originals. I also vote +1 for a write-up
