well had my 95 for almost a yr now and i have have done alot maintenace wise to it. noticed my carpet was gettin wet though i didnt smell antifreeze and realized my windshield is leaking. been meaning to get on the inside and do some serious cleaning and updateing so i figured this was the time to tackle it. removed the carpet today. Glass company is coming fri to install new winshield....gonna get EVERYTHING cleaned up and some things repainted....scored a set of super nice clean seats,seat belts and carpet from JYfor $50. im gonna change color of interior from blue to gray. the dash and rest of interior im gonna use sems paint to change the color of dash and rest of interior. here are some starting pics.







plan on getting the seats and stuff next week and hopefully can get the paint and other stuff by then too and i will get finished pics up.....warning this is not a rubberizing my interior thread! LOL!

 

What motor? 4x4? Lookin good so far, any other plans?

 

hha duh I didn't look at your signature

 

lol yeah it a 4x2 but startin to look like a 4x4.... got the front valnce on just need the fogs and fixin to do a 1" BL and front 2" lift spacers.

 

Theres no 4x4 switch or manual tcase lever lol

 

update...found out fri windshield guy wont be out till weds. Goin tues to get seats, carpet and few lil interior pieces.....so hopefully by the end of the week or first of next week i'll be pretty much done with interior.....thinkin about puttin 1" BL on this next weekend and front 2" lift spacers. then all i have left to do is get new expo bezel modified and brush guard and fact fogs and hella's wired up and workin with fact fog switches. just for giggles i pressure washed and cleaned the blue carpet just to see what it would look like...i'll get some after pics of that up tomm.

 

dont think ive ever seen a ranger with a blue interior lol

 

Lol yeah im not a big fan of it myself. That's why im swapping it over to gray. I think if just looks better!

 

My 93 Splash had blue interior. I thought it looked against the white exterior. But looking at your's it blue on blue. Not too sure how that would look, leaning toward the gray. Good luck with the clean-up.

 

another update: well glass guy wont be by till fri now...lol had lots of rain here and its put them behind but he said def fri.....went today and got muddy at the JY. scored like new seats, carpet, seat belts, some trim pieces, and sun visors....the headliner i can recover myself and the rest i can paint....the carpet needs a lil cleaning but its not too bad the drivers side door had been off the truck a few mnths so i need to get it cleaned and let it dry out in the sun for a few days...all this for $80 which i thought was pretty good!!!...so heres some moar pixz...........

cleaned the seats with what i had at home for now, got better (LOTS) at work so i will get these cleaned better lookin like new!! Finally got my center console/armrest back!! well it never had one since i owned it! LOL


cleaned up a lil


old seats..they were toast!!




few other lil things i got


these are the back panels and the back wall carpeted piece

 

Those seats look way better! I never realized how blue those interiors really were.

 

Looking good. The color combo on those old seats just suck.

 

thanks...lol yeah its def blue!!

Thanks!! yeah i like the gray int. alot better hopefully can have everything done by next week.

 

I bet you could find the grey dash and other interior parts real cheap just by looking for some explorer part cars on CL. Most people don't sell those parts so you may be able to get a really good deal on them.

 

Yeah they had the dash and complete int. It was just money I don't have right now...and it would be cheaper just to paint the rest of it....I may go back and get the cluster bezel and lower dr.side dash panel though and I need some new window handle cranks.

 

well got my headliner recovered...did it myself..just haven't much time on the rest between work and family....gonna try this sat to get carpet in and rest of panels.....i get some pics up soon!!

 

Should look great josh! You can also try dying your old carpet black, a lot of people do it on older import cars. They get a trash can, fill it with water, add some RIT dye fabric dye, and then let the carpet soak in it for a few days and it usually comes out looking like a new black carpet. I can find some more info for you if you'd like

 

^^thats not a bad idead. I never noticed how dirty that carpet was when I had it till now.

 

Whatcha gonna do with the old seats? I would be interested.

 

They aren't really worth the hassle, but if you want them I am sure josh will sell them lol.

 

actually i went ahead and got the gray carpet too. i got it cleaned up nice....the old carpet was just trashed beyond saving.....lol

went to the dumpster...lol the were just used up and no center armrest.

^^^^^ yeppers...aaaaand no lol

 

well finally got around to gettin some stuff cleaned and repainted and back in...still have a few things i need to run back to JY for like the A-pillar covers and cluster bezel and the panel under sterring colum....but its coming along nicely and lookin like a brand new interiorer!! also got my 1" BL on sat but thats nothing special...lol did it by myself in about and hour and a half just because i was at work doing it in between...lol. new windshield and rear slider glass was installed about 2 weeks ago. and trying to work it out where all i have to paint is the dash. goin down to auto paint store and give them the interior paint code and they can put it in a spray can where i can tape everything off and spray it in the truck!!

as you can see a few lil thing left to do....


repainted the seat tracks and bolts....



repainted my cup holder and even got the slider things for it and the rubber mats!!


redid my headliner myself and installed sunvisors..they need a lil cleaning still....


anyways like i said..its coming along nicely and lookin better than i thought it would...just cleaning and repainting what i can before i put it in the truck...the carpet came out nice just a few lil places that need some touching up a lil....i cleaned and scrubbed the floor of cab before i put the carpet in so everything is nice neat and clean and smelling good.....there are some good points to having OCD...LOL!!!

 

Looks really nice Josh, it has come along way

 

thanks stone!! hope to have everything done before the meet!! and hopefully here next yr i can repaint the truck....gonna keep orig. color but do a DSG bottom. also gonna try and get my front lift spacers on but just found out that the xtender studs are prob a different size on the 4x4 than the 4x2. which i got a set a daystars from a guy on TRS that came off a 4x4. so im trying to find out if thats true and where i can get the right size ones.....also gonna have my brush guard on soon..just have to do a lil modifiying to it.
