NoLimit95 Black Interior Swap Progress

[NoLimit95]

I'm not done yet with everything but I have a good start and not much left to do. I'm not mind set yet on a two tone or exactly how I want it but I'm good with how it is right now.

I have a black console that's in excellent shape but it's from the 94 and some people may not know this but 94 consoles do not fit in 95's. I tried and tried to make it work and even had to cut the plug off the 95 console to splice onto the 94 because the plugs were both female plugs but either way, the 94 console doesn't go all the way up and meet the 95 dash like I thought it would.

I kinda like the graphite console and it's in just as good of shape as the black one I have, if not better......and it fits lol. I have some pics below that show where I stand right now on the interior. Not sure where I'm going with it next but I have every piece that I need to do a complete swap to black but I doubt I'll go that far with it.

Getting the back deck in was my first piece to do.

Has not been vacuumed out since the swap so it's a little dirty right now.

Graphite parts taken out are in the burnt garage lol. Had to do something with all of it.

Nice. Can I have the seatbelt anchor covers for the front seatbelts?

Laser, I'm assuming you mean the ones that are right behind your head? If so, yes, you can have them.

I'm sure I can have them packed up tonight and off to you tomorrow Bill. I'll go out in the garage in just a little bit and round them up from the pile. I guess I need to make sure I have both of them complete but I don't remember anything missing from them. I'll get back to you before the night is out and let you know for sure. I still have your address on file also.

 

[LaserSVT]

I really only need one. The passenger side but I am sure they are the same.

 

[NoLimit95]

Laser, is this the part you need?

I asked you after you said that last time. You said you would look cause you were sure you had a box full of them and then get back to me..... sometime around when you were supposed to send me the cross brace...... and license plate light. Then you got all pissy and said you were busy and something about my mother and a donkey......



Terry, yeah thats what I needed. Like the license plate light you came through for me again. Should show Jamie how you do that.

lol, I would never compete with Jamie but your piece will be on the way to you tomorrow. You should have it at your door by Sat at the latest. Jamie has headlights to finish and MOULDINGS to paint so he has no time right now for little plastic pieces.

 

[DieselDan]

NoLimit, what other black stuff do you have that you arent swapping? I like the 2tone at the moment too. I actually said out loud "oohhhhh, that looks good".

Dan, I have two steering wheels, a console but it's for 93 and 94 only and rear side panels from the black 93. I really don't know what all I have or will have left but I can keep you updated as I go. I'm not going to put it off because I want to be done before the 90's start rolling through. Right now I'm dealing with high 70's and low 80's.

 

[DieselDan]

Black door panels by chance?

 

[NoLimit95]

Black door panels by chance?

I have four of those but one of them (drivers side) has some singed carpet on the bottom of it from the fire when I blew up the 94. You can't see it unless you're looking for it but you can feel it. Has a rough feel to it and I am pretty sure I'm swapping door panels out because they are still making it too grey inside.

I'm thinking about just having the dash as is and the console to blend in with the dash and maybe adding some two tone to the dash, like vents and the front upper piece next to the windshield. I only have one of those because the one in the 94 melted a little.

That looks great!

I did a similar thing to my 94 Green Mark VIII with Opal Grey interior. It's already got a half black dash and strips on the door and quarter trim from the factory.

I don't have the rear quarter trim peices, but I do have a black console.

I thought the black console would look bad connected to the grey dash, so I just used the small black peices of carpet from the console, and put them on the grey console.

Bill, you just gave me an idea I never thought about with the console carpet. Looks like I have a project for tomorrow. I also like the way the center of the dash is blacked out. I think I have two consoles. I'll have to go up in the attic and check for the 2nd one. I do like the console look though. I will do that tomorrow and maybe use some black pieces for the door panels to help start the blend going into the dash or swap out panels and use some grey parts to blend into. Console carpet is happening for sure. Thanks for showing me that.

 

[billcu]

Thanks, I'm glad you like the idea.

The carpet comes off easily, it's held on with soft sticky glue. Just start by pulling it back a little and cut the glue with a razor blade as you pull the carpet.

It's still sticky, so I didn't even need to add anymore glue, it sticks to itself again.

 

[DieselDan]

Ya, you won't have to apply new glue, just stick the new stuff on.

I really really like that!
I would love to do a black interior swap on mine but too many other things going on to find a comple black interior in perfect shape.

Thanks James. The carpet install was a little bit of hell but I managed. I'm going to do that console carpet swap today and maybe a few other things. Door panels maybe.

 

[NoLimit95]

Laser, your part is on it's way to you right now. Just dropped it off at the post office in an envelope from the post office. You should have it by Sat or sooner.
