Title: I cleaned up my interior (A lot of pics)
Post by: ponchiz318 on June 17, 2009, 06:19:15 PM

I haven't posted in this forum for a while and I figured I'd update my progress on my interior. To start, the PO did a horrible jib at dying the door panels and what not. Also, there were some 6x9s top mounted on the rear panels. Honestly it looked like utter crap. Well, my car is finally turning around and is starting to look decent. On to the pics!!
I'll start off with the old panels...yuk!

Well, I finally got around and purchased some panels off of a forum member on bimmerforums and I also finally cleaned up my carpet after a year and 3 months of ownership.

Well, that pretty much sums up my interior. I'm still in need of a drivers side tan door panel. It can come from either a coupe or vert e36 so if anyone has one available or knows somebody that does, let me know. I need it!!
Comments and suggestions are always welcome guys!!!

Nice Work! Clean interiors make the car feel soo much better.  I'm currently finishing up on a big interior refresh too (E30 though).  Its getting minty in there.

Thanks a lot. It took me 7 hours to clean up that mess. Although the cleaner (Blue Magic carpet cleaner) cleans up well, I still had to do some secrubbing to get out the bigger stains. The ones left are not that bad. I'm thoroughly happy with the results.
I've seen your thread and you have done some impressive work there. I need to freshen up a lot of things on my car but I'll take it a step at a time.
