DeWManche Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Got tired of Dailing my loud, stinky, and uncomfortable rig every day. So I took so time and money to spruce it up a bit. -Welded custom floor mounts for my new early 2000s 3 series BMW seats that I got cheep from a junk yard. -Cleaned up all the surface rust on the floorboards and painted. - lay down some knock off Dinamat (everywhere) floor, doors, roof, -All New speakers -Installed new JC Whitney vinyl floor -Also did headliner but no before pics It so much nicer! No Cadillac but wife will actually ride in it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeWManche Posted March 10, 2019 Author Share Posted March 10, 2019 The vinyl is so hard to get in and seated nicely. Honestly probably took me three hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeWManche Posted March 10, 2019 Author Share Posted March 10, 2019 Also installed Grand Cherokee front door seals while I had the trim out, much thicker and adds some extra sound deadening for road noise. Still planing on doing some sort of center console with cup holders, switch panel, and extra gauges. But that can wait, I’m happy with what I got so far.

The seals came out of a ZJ (93-98) I had to trim them a bit but fit fine otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Bob!! I fabbed up some new ones, the bench mounts where way to tall and wouldn’t allow the seats to adjust up and down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And for the mounts i used 1inch square stock for most of the mounts but the front right corner of driver and left front corner of passenger mounts are angle stock welded up to the trans tunnel.
