Thanks for the comments Today i did some work on the interiors
started

very solid floor pans



wire brushed, primed & paint some surface rust spots




ready to install it





test fit the seats just to see how they look but still waiting for the seats brackets. still need to trim the carpet on some corners but overall im really happy with the results. need to take better pictures of the interior done. for some reason the dash looks brown with the flash now i need to order some more carpet to finish the trunk

Can't be more happy. The quality is awesome & fit better than the OEM. Customer service and shipping was great too
