Custom Interior
Hey guys, got a few questions for my interior.
first, how much work is involved and what costs am i looking at for a full auto meter gauge dash set up? half my gauges dont work so i thought i may as well do it now seems its on my to do list.
secondly, can you get brand new complete dash's? mine definately looks its age.
thirdly, how much am i looking at to get new carpet and doors re trimmed. not sure if want to keep the calais trim or go with something unique. also wanna do the rear bench although i want to eventually get custom racing seats in the back.
any help and info would be great. thanks joe

2. I have never seen brand new dash's local wreckers will have some that SHOULD be in good condition,
3. IMO get some newer commodore seats eg, vt senator seats like retrimmed in nice tan leather or something
yea ive seen vs caprice seats in a vl. looked heaps good. do you know anything about autometer dashes?. as for the 'local wreckers', ive had more vl donour cars then they have all together haha. ill try kalgoorlie. hopefully ill be able to pull one apart before i buy it. cheers for the reply

No idea where abouts you live mate haha just going off from whats availible around here, im probably buying a vl thats complete for parts this week/next, ill sell you the dash for like 20 bucks if yuo like. Not to sure on the autometer gauges but you could diy. Get that checkerplate stuff from a hardware store and just get all the gauges yourself and cut holes and make it exactly how you want it, would be pretty expensive especially if you use autometer. That checker plate isnt too dear i don't think.
i can get aluminium checkerplate from work so thats easy. i live in norseman in W.A. only like 800 people here lol. ill PM ya bout the dash. im not too worried bout the cost of stuff as long as its reasonable. and i wanna do alot of work myself too. thanks for the tips

i would say roughly $1000 for a complete auto meter set up.

the auto metre dash is easy depending on what you use as a face around them...get the coulsen font seats and there is a site i will find and pm u that does custome vy senator style rears in leather with your choice of stitching colour and logo colour

Also the cost will depend on exactly what gauges, if you only want like km/h rpm and oil pressure for example it will be cheaper then all those three plus volts vacum temp etc
