Temporary interior done

One day in this cars life time i will take it to an upholestry shop and have them completely re-do it nicely.

This is just temporary stuff because i cant take the sound / melting tar from the headers anymore.

Painted the floors with latex exterior primer mixed with microspheres, its basically paint on sound deadner.








Got some on the wires and stuff, but i dont care they wont be seen.

The only part i missed up on is i got some of it on the weather strip.. i'll have to go back and paint it with black paint to hide the fuck up.. no big deal






Racecar interior











Got some insulation foam from home depot, the stuff they use on interior carpets.

It makes a good padding and will help with the sound & cabin tempature even more. Cost me 13$

Next part is the velour fabric i bought, i got 4 square yards from joanne fabrics for 27$

The glue was 20$ a can.. 3M godlike spray on adhesive, my friend brendon got it discounted to 24$ for 2


Brenden also helped me put all this shit in, it took about 2.5 hours total, lots of spray gluing and fitting, but it came out great.

I might do the rear hatch like this too.

I need to finish glueing the fabric up towards the firewall, it was getting dark so we stopped.




















Next day i used the old carpet as a template for a piece of hard cardboard to glue the sound deadner & Velour to, i had to cut it in sections so it kinda looks fucked up, but i don't care i can live with it for now.


I still need to get a few plastic pieces for the hatch area of the interior, also the fit isn't perfect but it cuts down on the noise ALOT

You can see one of panels here, its not that bad IMO.

The back part will be covered up by a plastic trim piece some day, they're retardedly expensive so i will most likely get it when im finishing up the car.
