made some progress on my 1st gen this weekend. mostly just interior work. I did rebuild my master cylinder pretty much, new brake pads and rotors, wheels bearings, brake lines, and wheel studs, but that's all unintresting regualar maintence type stuff, I actually took some pics of the interior work I did (more intresting, and worth posting imo) . I got some seat covers put on to hold me over til do a hardbody bench seat swap (for cruiser feel), recovered my original dashmat, took the entire interior out, stripped the carpet (old, original, smelly, stained, etc etc..) rolled out some generic replacement carpet, pre-cut, fitted, some final cutting, and interior re-installation . here's how it came out:














edit : oh, new matching black floor mats as well.

 

Looks nice. What color was the original interior, light grey or light blue?

 

Appears to be light gray to me.

 

yup, light grey / brown-soda-stains lol yeah, the light grey was a pretty popular option for the sedans I think, that's what all of them have been that I have seen...I have seen A silver one w/ BLUE..... I have seen a few wagons with the red interior, and the brown... what all colors were available?

 

seeing all u ppl with your 1gen 2nd gen maximas makes me remines of my 2nd gen max and the fun we had on the stop lights with the ppls faces as i got up and whent. it makes me want to get one agin, but cant have on project going. it make me smile nowing ther are ppl out ther fixing this cars....

 

Did my interior too about a year ago with my son as a fathers day project it came out real nice I got it back custom cut it my self and everything well glad to see others are still up on it

 

My '81 has a cantaloupe tan color interior.

 

My 2nd gen has the frost interior (and oddly, so does my 5th gen).
