Popular Post rusheR Posted June 24, 2015 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 (edited) you didn't...I did! haha, but probably not what you were thinking. It's not Atacama, and I didn't reupholster it.I picked up somewhat tired tan V70R seats in California on my way back and after good cleaning they looked even worth. They were dyed at some point and most of that came right off with simple green and some elbow grease. So I decided to paint them, and since I had to pretty much redo everything I changed the color to BMW Modena for leather and Champagne for suede. I went with Leather MagicI didn't finish it all yet as I had to order more paint. It looks ok. Definitely better than it used to be, so I'm pretty happy about it.

rusheR Posted June 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 Let's see pics of that interiorIt looks much happier here than sitting in that VR by your house for sure haha. Was nice meeting you, bud.Had to edit previous post as it sounded not the way I intendedVery interesting, should look good on the dark grey.I personally would've left the alcantara piping along the sides and headrest in champagne.Looking forward to installed pictures.I would do that too, but masking it all was a royal PITA. Can't wait to put it all back together too. Still have to figure out all the wiring while I'm waiting for extra paint, I would love to have seat heaters wired.

Mesoam Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 Looks like the leather came out nice! A sweater shaver (bed bath and beyond) will makes the inserts look like new as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rusheR Posted July 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 (edited) Those wheels fit better than I ever imagined they would! The seats look great too!Thanks , I like how they look too, for now, but I will be refinishing them to silver or gold probably over the winter. It was way too hot today to be outside, but I went to PNP anyway and scored some goodies. I pulled charcoal trunk floor panels from minty xc70, nice leather steering wheel from 960 and some odds and ends.Uglies out and fresh ones inAnyone knows what is this thing? there's no markings whatsoever Edited July 4, 2015 by rusheR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
