The focal point of any interior is the dash. Luckily, restoration of my dash was fairly straightforward. The gauge cluster was disassembled and cleaned. The amp gauge was inoperative so a suitable replacement was found. 3M "Finesse It" was used to polish the gauge lens the plastic woodgrain parts of the dash. All the fine scratches and haziness vanished with very little effort. The bezel for the switches was repainted and fresh white paint was painstakingly applied to the lettering. Even though the GTX doesn't have the A01 light package on the fender tag, a factory map light, heater control lighting and ignition switch light were added.

The "sound deadener" kit purchased from Year One was junk so the ACC carpet went in with only the manufacturer applied jute backing. Here's a shot with the carpet and seats installed. After installing an excellent used gas pedal and repro brake pedal pads, things were looking pretty good. Repro pedal trim was added to  brighten things up a bit. The original sill plates, kick panels were cleaned up and reinstalled to give the carpeting a nicely finished look.

Since the rear seat was in great condition, only the front buckets required attention. While the foam was in good shape, the drivers seat upholstery had split along the stitching. New seat skins from Legendary Auto Interiors were an easy install, it only took one afternoon.

The seatbelts were cleaned up by soaking them in Oxyclean and extremely hot water. After rinsing and re-soaking them several times they looked like new. A light coat of Krylon low gloss black and a little chrome polish had the buckles looking like new.

Replacing the headliner turned out to be a bit of a challenge. I messed up the first one trying to heat the wrinkles out of it. On the second attempt, I took extra care to stretch it  properly, eliminating many wrinkles.

The windshield header and roof rail moldings were repainted and the original visors, rearview mirror and A pillar trim were cleaned thoroughly and reused. The end results speak for themselves.

The original door panels looked pretty tacky with all the new and refinished interior parts so I ordered a complete set from Year One. The holes for the window crank mechanisms had to be cut so I used a hole saw to cut through the heavy backing material from the back side. To avoid ruining the new panels, I finished by cutting the hole in the vinyl with a razor blade. The front armrest bases are replated units from Mr. G's. who also supplied an interior screw kit. I had a bunch of inside door handles, arm rests and window cranks. I sorted through them all to find the best ones, eventually coming up with everything needed to finish things off.

Here's a shot of the finished interior. 

There was a lot more to getting the interior together than I expected. Numerous detail items like the upper door plugs and lock knobs came from Tom Race at R/T Specialties. The dome light lens, sunvisor tips, glovebox liner, rear package tray and stainless pedal trim came from Year One. Now all I need are some decent 8-track tapes to play in the old AM/8 Track....
