These are before and after the interior work. The Instrument
cluster broke from the dash and we used black duct tape to keep it from
breaking off. The instrument cluster will be upgraded with a gauge
kit. The console was badly worn and damaged. The armrest did not
close properly and the pad was worn. The radio was not mounted
properly and the dash vents were broken.
