The door panels and interior components of the car were showing their age so I pulled all the carpet out and tossed it...ordered a new kit off of ebay somewhere (which looks pretty good actually) for $150 and decided to construct new interior panels. I found some pressed fiberboard at Home Depot that actually had a painted side (which I figured would make it a bit better at withstanding weather) and bought a large chunk to fabricate everything from. I forgot take pictures of the fabrication but this is what the stuff looks like.

I took some time tracing the door panels from the old ones which ended up being a trickier task than you would think - probably because the original panels were so old that they were warped or bent or just generally falling apart. It appears that some previous owner had also painted the vinyl of the old panels from red to black...the whole thing was a mess and I was glad to redo them. 

We took the preconstructed panels up to a local upholstery shop in order to do the stitching. While they were there I also had them add some small pockets to the front of the panels where I felt it would be convenient to stash sunglasses, maps, etc. I was really pleased with how well they turned out - especially the stitching and the padding thickness the shop used. They are based in San Rafael and their contact info is to the right if you need work done. Tell them Cameron sent you.)

The rear boot divider was also repainted, warped, falling apart and had huge holes cut into it where the previous owner placed 6x9 speakers. Looked horrid. 

I removed it, reconstructed a new panel out of the coated fiberboard and had the shop stitch in the verticals to break up the surface so it looked similar to the original. Everything turned out great and I was happy to have found Matt's small upholstery shop. He really does great work and everything turned out solid.
