Thanks for the encouraging words Dennis. It should be very nice when finished. Hope to have most of interior finished in a couple weeks. --Kim

Front seat finished! The front seat backs were quite difficult I think especially because I have the all foam-no springs version of split bench seat. Before we did the last seat back, I found the following video that helped quite a bit...

I replaced the seat adjuster wire underneath that was stretched out with an extra piece of listing wire.

I'm pretty happy with it. It's not perfect but good enough. One problem that I haven't figured out is that the passenger seat back lock doesn't work... It may be broken. I can't get it to lock even if I push it manually as far as it can go.

The headrests are in good shape. I am going to clean them and spray with SEM satin black and re-use.

Next is headliner clean and re-dye. After that rubber sound deadener on floor and make a barrier between back seat and trunk.

Thanks Mike! It was hard work but I think the end result it very nice. Just finished spraying the headliner... Lots of tedious masking but hopefully will look good when it dries.

Seats are a big improvement. Great job doing it yourself.

Did you use a spray gun on the headliner , or spray cans ?

I used Dupli Color fabric/vinyl dye in a spray can. The headliner is vinyl and this stuff didn't work well at all... Despite my efforts to spray evenly, looks blotchy! So, I will possibly try SEM satin black spray can... I've used it a lot and it is very forgiving with respect to angle, uneven coverage, etc. We'll see. I will try it on sun visors first.

PS: The Dupli Color did work very well on the shoulder harness straps.

Well, headliner isn't good but also not awful. I went over again with SEM and the lighter areas seem to have bled through again. (Picture is a little deceptive because of the lighting). My best guess is that there was mildew or something that didn't come off when I wiped it down with just a wet cloth and water. Maybe I should have used Tilex or even lacquer thinner. Anyway, now it is what it is. The only way to change it as far as I know is replace the headliner, which I am not going to do.

This is the only part of this project that I am not happy with so far but, again, it's not awful--just not good, so I will live with it.
