Redoing the interior... - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

How hard would it be to redo my interior? i want to do the cloth on the door pannels and the carpet. I was wondering how hard would it be to do the inserts, wouldn't i just need the cloth, fit it, and then glue it into place? As for the carpet, are there any sites that sell the carpet pre cut, only needing me to install it?

See if you can get ahold of Blank Flip on this board.
He has done a custom interior himself.
He posted pictures a while ago, and it looked really nice.
Not sure where he got all the stuff.
Try a search for topics started by him.

well the panels are easy...but the carpet you need to get one molded for the car...anyway to change the cloth in the door paneles and practicall all of it is about the same...heres how you do the door panel, firsl remove the door panal, take all noticable screws out, there is ont it the handle and one ther eis a secret cover where the unlock button the goes red its after u take then all off just rip the door panel off, it's held on by clips, look at it and i'd take u .5 seconds to figure it out, the panel that has the cloth is help into the panel by a piece of metal it is glued on, and the metal has ends that bend and hold on to the panel, unbend these. rip the old cloth off...get now one and foam, glue back on metal and put everhting back on...dono!

Just be extra careful about the carpet, I learned that when i put one in my old dodge. You really want to make sure you start with small holes and cut them bigger if you need to, it's pretty hard to regrow carpet, <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>
