Welcome to the Occupation

On the inside of the Occupation V-II

- Back to the main Vette page - - Cars Page -

	The interior of the car was in good shape when I purchased it. Included were a pair of plastic footwell liners from Ecklers, and a all red interior that is okay but in need of carpet. As I began to plan for the improvements on the car I came to realize that there was too much red in the interior. Therefore I decided that I would execute a two tone red on black interior, what you see in the attached images is about a 70% completion of that idea. The following is a list of items that have been replaced Carpet Chrome door sills Rear compartment assembly Console sides Handbrake cover Door latch escutcheons Seat backs Kick panels Speaker boxes Infinity Speakers Sony CD player/MD controller Steering wheel Horn Button. Rear defrost switch Power window switches Replace ignition cylinder Replace headlight switch - purchased from "The Last Detail" Other items that have been done recently include. New seat covers Burlwood Center console Covers Phantom Gauges throughout Rik's Unlimited - Ecklers - Pep Boys - Circuit City - Pomona swap meet - GM - Corvette Central




So Whats left in here? Dye Door panel carpet Black. Recover and reinstall factory steering wheel Two additional speakers (make 6 total) Plastic compartment tray Rear window tint.	The process of installation went something like this: Gut the interior with the exception of the dash panel, parking brake and top of center console. Vacuum out all loose debris Scrub individual interior components to be reinstalled with simple green using soft or brass bristle brush. Apply New Vinyl to all vinyl interior pieces to remain Reroute or repair any errant wiring Install new carpet, reinstall misc. hardware. Install Rear compartment assembly after fitting locks and pulls Test fit console side panels, trim as required. Glue carpet to side panels and let set.
