Well not quite leather but immitation leather and not the whole interior but most of it.
I did the center console (from gear shifter and up) and the driver's side airvent so far and results are excellent. I am doing it dove grey to much my leather seats (two tone Charcoil and Dove grey - check profile). I took some pics but i need to upload them.

Next i will be doing the center console (hand brake and back), the sides of the console, the part below the steering wheel and the glove compartment and i am planning to do the lower parts of the doors (Plastic parts) It will be more or less like doggys old interior but his was painted. I have seen something similar on a black 300ZX and it was beatiful.

I am taking a lot of pics for the process for a how-to article when iam done.

you took pics with phone? biggrin.gif

By the way, 3 years ago i worked as Car audio installed, so i have a lot of experience working with lether and other stuff (made a lot of door panels for speakers and etc, hade to cover them with leather and etc.)

So, i can tell one thing, if you used the right glue for lether it will be ok, but if glue is not so good, after some time on sun (you live in country there hot air is everyday) the leather starts bubling, and it is really really hard to cover everything perfect with leather... There are some types of leather/vinils that i worked with, they are designed for this type of stuff, so you can stretch them in both ways (some leather/vinils can be stretched only one way).. Mad props on this Neaklis, i know how much work is involved in this, hope everything will be ok after some time.
