Interior
I painted the dash and the door panels toupe.

 

The scanguage was installed where the head unit should be. The bracket for the scangauge is at an angle up towards the driver so that it is easily readable. I installed power switches for the carputer and amps.

Here is what the interior looks like right now. The computer is mounted on top of my sub and the monitor is between the seats.

I have a pair of black sheepskin seat covers. They are over 25 years old and cost 400 bucks new. The seats under these covers look brand new.

I converted the Manual windows to Power Windows! I used the electric lock button for the switch on the passenger side, as my van doesnt have electric locks.
New regulator vs. old crank style.

  I installed a speaker box that hangs from the roof of the van. It is made from MDF and is painted white. It houses four 6"x9" Alpine Type R speakers.
