New interior w/ Estys carpet


Recommended Posts

Hey All-

It's been a few months since I've posted on here but I wanted to post my latest weekend work. Last year or so I finished the body work on my 76 and painted the car myself. It was major project but until the interior was done, I still had a lot of work to do. I just finished it this weekend!

This was on my list:

- New Carpet

- New Headliner

- Redone seats

- Redone rear seat

- New Door Panels (front/back)

- Turn all tan interior items to Black

So here are the before shots:

My old Headliner:

My Old Carpet and Seats:

Thanks to Esty's fast skills with her sewing machine I received my carpet kit in no time (and the quality is outstanding). Made some MINOR adjustments to it during install but if anyone is considering a carpet kit, Esty is the ONLY place to buy from.

With some local help from my favorite interior shop, I had them redo my seats and headliner. For the headliner I made a risky choice and chose a gray color.

I just moved out of the Bay Area to Salt Lake City. If any 02ers are in SLC pipe up, I'd love to see what meets you guys have here.

Thanks again to Esty

Do you have more pix of those seats in their "before" state? They look like the seats I have now. I assumed that they weren't original, but maybe they are.....

Did you get the headliner done in the bay area, or SLC? If in the bay, can you share where you did it and how much it cost? Did you have the glass pulled, or did they work around it?

Thanks!

I think your "risk" turned out great. Very nice interior. I too would like to know how much the headliner cost.

+1! If the work was done in the Bay Area, or nearby, please tell who, and how much. I'm in the process of redoing my interior and yours looks great.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
