Looks good. What product did you use for your interior?

I use a paint called Fusion by Krylon is for painting plastics. I bought it at Canadian Tire I took all the parts off washed them in dish soap then a lite wet sanding then paint. I going to do the speedo ring next I didn't do it because I wasn't sure how to get it off but now I understand I have to take the dash off, so I may attempt that tonight.

Definitely looks like it works great on plastics. Good job. Post up pictures once you get the speedo ring done.

Very nice! Ties in very well now. What part of the door panel do you think you'll end up doing? I definitely think you should do the speaker ring.

Thank you for the reply I was thinking of doing the speaker ring, does it just pop off or is it part of the door panel. As for the door panel I was thinking of doing the center part with the padded arm rest so the big circle part matches the dash silver. I was out last night at a small cruise and everyone loved what I have done to the dash. Again thanks for the compliment

You're welcome! I think that's a good idea. I think the ring is part of the panel, but I'm not sure. We do have a DIY here on how to replace the window regulator, but it goes over the steps of how to remove the door panel so maybe it'll be useful for you if you decide to take the panel off.

Just a couple of updates on the interior I did the door panels, I added red trim to the toggle switches, checkered the hand brake handle and a little pin strip at the bottom of the dash didnt do the speaker ring because it has to be melted off the back to remove so I just masked the door panel to do the yellow part

Very nice. Everything ties in quite nicely. It might be cool to do a shifter boot with the checked pattern to match the ebrake. Thoughts?
