Another fun projected started today - Interior.

Will redo front seats with this fabric from SMS Auto Fabrics. To me it looks almost the same so I will leave back seat and door cards as they are with the original fabric and maybe redo later..

For back seat will only replace vinyl side and give it a proper cleaning

Here is the material from local shop to replace cracked vinyl bits..

I decided to redo ceiling in vinyl as it's more durable and easier to clean..

That's about it for now.. Over & out

What did you use to strip it?

Some special paste from local paint shop. They produce it themselves.

Front seats were fully repaired with new upholstery, new vinyl and new fabric from SMS Autofabrics. Back seats and door cards were in good condition so I only deep-cleaned them and changed vinyl for bottom part of the back seat.

New Sun visors and headliner were made from grey vinyl. Didn't really like how headliner sits on the edges and some seams looked like women genitals so I have ordered new fabric headliner. Should be ready fairly soon and I hope it will sit better.

It's been too long since my last post. However the car is almost done now and few minor things have left to finish. Can't wait to take it on first adventure.

To honour my grandma's memory I have renamed this project Oome (Ōme) now, which means grandma in Latvian.

Enjoy some current photos of the truck!

Hi. Would you have the fabric reference for seats? I do not find Toyota in the list at SMS Fabrics.
