Full Custom Interior...Goodbye plastic!!
So, let's begin with the before just incase you don't remeber. This is the car of board member

Pretty drap and loaded with plastic. If you followed the conversion thread, you know what went into this build. Today Frank picked up his car completed and drove it home. I almost felt like my car was leaving b/c of all the time I had spent with it
Anyway, on to the goodies...
This is what has been done to the interior of the car.
Door outers have been wrapped in Italian leather.
