Project Repeat Offender 1985 Ford Mustang Interior Upgrades - Cream On The Outside, Clean On The Inside

We then installed the carpet. Auto Custom Carpets (ACC) provided us with a black carpet kit (PN 14630-85; $279.15), a trunk carpet (PN 17280-85; $124.66), and a set of new Signature Series floormats (PN 8886-85; $133.84).

We simply trimmed the new carpet with a pair of scissors to clear the rollcage. A trick to providing a clean look is to leave a little extra carpet and fold it under when you install it.

These new signature series mats are odorless, easy to clean, and backed with a new non-skid surface.

The trunk carpet kit is cut to fit the trunk perfectly. ACC also offers trunk mats and carpet kits for hatchbacks.

Lastly, we installed a pair of black-suede Corbeau GTS II seats. Leftover from Project Recession Special, these seats are comfortable enough for a road trip but provide enough support for hard launches. We also installed two sets of Simpson five-point harnesses from Summit Racing (PN SIM-29112BK; $229.95).

Though we reinstalled the stock instrument cluster, we're planning on upgrading it with Auto Meter gauges soon. Check back for more on that.

Before: The early-'90s-era interior left a lot to be desired.

After: Though the Repeat Offender retains some of its beige pieces, the new black carpet and seats bring it into the 21st century.

Without a doubt, this is the coolest Fox rear-seat delete we've ever seen. It's matte-black finish gives it a menacing look and it was easy to install. Check back next month as we install the fuel and ignition systems in the Repeat Offender.
