INTERIOR RESTORATION

Saaboheme's 1995 Saab 900

 

The car is 12 years old, with leather interior and is a convertible. This is a recipe for developing a ratty looking interior pretty quick. One day I had had enough and decided to do something about it.
Here are some random shots:
Close-up of the driver's seat, before:

Driver's seat after repairing and dying. This is a night pic, so the color is not actually representative of the richer tan color that it is.

Top of the rear interior panel (note the color contrast with seatbelt housing which has already been dyed, and with the rear seat bottoms in the background, which have also been repaired and dyed):

Passenger seat dyed and driver's seat original:

Bottom bench seat, cracks filled and dyed, with seat backs remaining to be restored:

Backs of the front seats, driver's side before and passenger side after:

The driver's seat, after (photo taken in the dark - the flash washed some color out). Note however how smooth it is with no cracking:

This daytime photo of an interior door panel is the truest representation of the final color (this was a color change from the pale and dirty beige to a rich tan):
