We all do stuff externally to our cars, and mods to the drivetrain etc...

but I need to fix my interior.

I need 4 new door panels, a new glove box, 2 front seats, new wood trim....

hell, I even need a new windshield.. but I don't even know where to start.

Help meeeeeeeeeeeeeee!:help

It all depends how far into it you want to go and what you want for the end result. The easiest would be to sell your interior and pick up some good condition, used pieces to swap in. It will take a good, long day to do it but isn't really that hard. You could alternately have everything recovered. This isn't going to be very cost effective, but depending on what you want it may suit your needs well.

i went for an estimate a while back to get my interior done (color change). for front and rear seats re-wrapped, it was gonna be $1000. then another $200 to redye the door panels, lower dash, and center console. seemed reasonable, cause that was $1200 inc. labor.

It's been like that for 3 years and has held up great. The only spot that needs to be redone is right next to the gas pedal.
