glove box, before & after

[BoostFab]

with just a bit of patience, not bad of a result, eh...

[BoostFab]

and after, soon door panels will be the next victim

[Nismo_Freak]

Nice!

[240sxGT]

Great job, keep up the good work!

[420_240sx]

Wow, you wanna work on my interior for me? Wait, i dont have a car......

[Duckmeister]

nice man what did you use to make it come out so nice?

[S14Life]

You did that yourself? Oh shizzle, do a write up~

heh Nice work buddy.

[rico05]

It's mean to not tell us how you did it.

[BadMojo]

It's mean to not tell us how you did it.

Yeah, that's just damn cold. I need to know how you did that. Really excellent job. Looks professional.

[whiterps13]

nice lookin. is that vinyl or what?

[bcuz]

I alwyas wondered what is up wiht the lever for our glove boxes? it always is this NASTY worn out plasticky look. What was nissan thinking?

[BoostFab]

lol...thanks for the words guys.

removal of the old fabric layer were very easy. with the glove box out of the car, i basically just remove the screws that attaches the back compartment to the front cover. the fabric just came right off with some firm pulls. i used 400-grit sand paper to remove the old foamy substance and to even out the surface.

the matterial i used to cover the box is vinyl--it felt like soft leather, can be purchased at Han**** Fabrics, $12/yrd. the glue i used for the upholstering can be purchased at PepBoys, it's called heavy duty headliner spray on glue.

the camera didn't do it's justice. look just like it came out of the factory; except for the crappy discolored lever. i'm thinking about coloring that with black..hmmm.

[Altiman94]

it looks very nice. I'm gonna have to do that to mine when I get my car back from the shop.

Yeah, I'd love to hear how the door panels go. This sounds like a great little project. I ****ing hate that nasty tweed on my doors and glove box.

[Rex]

Very nice work. Might even be worth doing a few and selling them. You'd only need a couple to use as seed and then sell them with a core.

[Dattebayo]

Im just gonna rip those damn panels off and go with the minimalism thing. Or is it industrialist?

....i like raw metal hell yeah.

[gounc14]

Right does anyone have any information as to when/why Nissan decided that door panels and glove boxes were best decorated with burlap? I always thought that burlap was best used to plant trees, but the 240's interior sure proved me wrong!

[fuzion]

Alright.. you've inspired me

Didn't turn out as nicely as yours but it still looks ok..Working on the door panels right now

Before

After

[marshun]

so you guys wrapped that stuff?

i was kinda hoping i could take off that stuff and then just clean off the glove box.

[fuzion]

Yeah... cleaning it would take a while.. and after all that who knows how good the plastic will look..

[marshun]

i see. damn....

i think i'll put this project aside for a while.

but i'll look for something that matches the dash and doors.

[BoyWonder]

Looks really cleanly done. I like!

[rico05]

How did you get under the handle? Does it come off?

[BoostFab]
