Paint or wheels or interior?

I have the car set up really nice (in my opinion of course), but I am getting ready for the next stage.

I have a nice smooth refinished body (except for final paint) so that's all that is really needed for the outside.

I have a really nice looking factory wheel set up now, but my goal is to end up with 13" wheels so I can put my 175/50-13 tires on.

My interior is almost complete as all I need now is the seats restitched and to lay the floor carpet down.

What do you think I should do? I'm leaning towards the inside since the outside has more of a finished look to it and the inside has bad carpet and a couple of rips in the seats.

Thanks. Later, QD.

I say paint the outside first, that should motivate you more to do other things. Its always nice to finish one stage completely then go on to the next thing...Just my:2cents:

Exactly. If you drive it, you actually want to be comfortable. Everything else can come in time.

punkR6, I appreciate your input and it totally makes sense. But to me, the outerior is presentable as it sits. But as soon as you look inside you see duct tape holding some of the vinyl up on the driver's seat and the carpet all dirty and mangled (a bit).

Also, the price to do each is right about the same. Later, QD.

It was my daily when it was running. It will be running again in January and will return to be a daily. Later, QD.

No really, interior or wheels, paint is okay, can come after wheels....

I say paint first. Nothing like dropping all that time and money on a nice interior just to have the possibility of overspray of any kind ruining it!

Interior, you've got the car looking very presentable on the outside already. I personally would do the interior and just drive and enjoy it.

I vote interior also, for all the above reasons. Plus i love your car with the current paint and wheels.

Won't fit.


Thanks, so far, for all your comments. I was leaning towards doing the interior for the same reason a couple of you gave, being that the outerior is already presentable. If I go ahead and get the interior finished, then all to be done is final paint and then, technically, the car would be finished. Wheels could come whenever. Later, QD.

Interior shots since everyone has seen the outerior and not the inside. Later, QD.
