water damage
I have some severe water damage in my car. The windshield and rear windshield have been off the car for a year while the previous owner had it. I need to replace pretty much the entire interior. Any recomendations? For the most part im going to be replacing the whole thing myself.

Start with Victoria British. They have dashboard caps (I'm assuming that your dash is cracked and ruined) and other little interior things. They might have door panels, but you'd better double check that. They also offer complete carpet sets at very affordable prices. Seat covers are available there too, but they're kind of pricey. You'd be better off taking yours to an upholstery shop. As for the headliner, you can usually get those custom made. Remember to check the local pick and pull for interior panels, center consoles, ect. Occasionally dome light covers pop up on ebay. hope this helps you out!

The pics look great, but there was this really strange looking creature in the list of pictures, apparently his name is "me", possibly a cousin to "Mini Me"? 
Keep us posted on what you decide to use for paint, I'm not real impressed so far by that 3M interior paint.

Outstanding! I can't wait to see a few pics that have been painted with it. I know this may sound like a real wussy thing to say, but aren't you concerned about getting all of it back together and back together right? That's the biggest reason I wasn't going to pull my dash out, I heard several guys say it wasn't worth it, unless you just really wanted to replace that stupidly placed "left" speaker that got "left" in the middle of the dash.

honestly .....im really not concerned....i wanted my car to look good and pulling the dash was neccesery trust me it was UGLY!!!
as in getting all the pieces back in......its really straight forward....you cant like put something where it doesnt go....the plugs only go into certain spots.....plus while the dash is off...i can clean the heating vents.....all the dust under the dash....stuff like that plus i will put little foam inserts wherever the dash screws on so it doesnt rattle when you take the dash apart theres like maybe 10 pieces with those heating vents that only go into their place....so really no big deal.......(only thing for me is SCREWES i dont know if i know where certain screw goes where LOL)
oh yeah plus it gave me a chance to put in the guages n clean everything!!
