It’s unbelievable how you are willing to give anything a go and your work ethic just keeps impressing me more and more. I hope you don’t mind, but I use your videos as inspiration for my students. I’m an industrial arts teacher in NSW Australia (woodwork, metalwork, tech drawing, engineering and design) and I’ve been working with young people and students for nearly 40 years. It is so refreshing to see you go out and just get stuck in and give it a go. No whining or whinging (on camera anyway) or looking for help before having a go yourself. Keep the great content coming.
Yes sir. I our younger years the only way to learn a trade was to work hard enough so the old timers would give you the skills they have learned. The old timers love the work and loved to give the knowledge to younger guys but you had to earn it with a good work ethic. The kids now a days are not concerned about Carrying on the skills as much. It nice to see younger guys with a good work ethic. I have 6 kids and lucky for me they all are great kids with a good work ethic. They had to earn everything they got. It makes a difference. We can easily pick out the spoiled kids now a days.
Add another panel to the back area you were thinking about leaving open., go for the cleaner look with black carpet like the rest. You do such good work I think it might leave the "unfinished" look and you know it will bug you, so just go ahead and do it now.
An idea for that back panel is, cut a piece of that carpet exact and slowly spray glue it on the back. Press all those patterns into the carpet while gluing it so you can still see the patterns thru the carpet.
Seems to be a lot of kids now a days that have a great work ethic have good parents and are not scared of hard work. Having good parents help a lot. I know mom and pops are proud of their kids. You are only as happy as your most unhappy child. Looks like mom and dad tuned are totally happy.
Damn I gotta say I wasn’t to excited for this build in the beginning but that has changed it’s turning out really clean can’t wait to see you go rippin in this thing
Instead of the wood panel in the back and the unfinished blue paint (which imho looks odd), what about you just carpet over the whole area. Spray contact adhesive and work the carpet into all the metalwork so the pattern can still be seen. I suspect the carpet you have is too thick, so use thin "stretch" carpet, the type used for camper van conversions. You could also use the same stretch carpet for the roof lining as long as you use spray contact adhesive that can withstand high temperatures. Ask the camper van conversion guys, they do it all the time. Will look really good, and do you really need that sheet of wood in the back of your build? Look forward to see it finished, looking good!!
The interior is always my favorite part - painting vs replacing, pure genius and it looks so GOOD! (No anxiety while you were trimming off the excess carpet on your board with that razor blade. Nope, none at all 😮) That motor looks beastly, can't wait!
Really interesting build. You are doing a superb job on that interior. Back panel surely has to Vtuned logo??? I stopped using MDF some years back when the warning came out about wearing a mask due the dust causing lung cancer, and I cannot wear a mask due to medical reasons. Stay safe and healthy.

Here I am in the Netherlands at 11 pm, waiting for this hero to upload a new video with his E30. A car that you still see quite a lot here (mostly BMW purists) so I am curious to see how someone from the USA will build it! Keep it up, it looks really clean! This BMW together with the E36 and the E46 is legendary.
I was doing the same thing a couple months ago with my ‘85. I bought it with no interior other than two junk racing seats and a dashboard. I’ve been using my ‘88 parts car and swapped the whole interior. I used the same paint you used for my back panel with the speakers, swapped the dash from the ‘88 and painted it along with the console. Side back panels weren’t too bad and I haven’t gotten to the door panels yet. The seats from the parts car are pretty rough, but I kinda like the aged look on certain things. I painted the whole interior with rust reformer paint after patching some holes in the floor pan, I think it looks pretty good as I’m not using the carpet. I used bed liner on the footwell areas and have been painting the engine bay lately. I also undercoated the whole driver side and wheel wells so far. Mine isn’t gonna have a roll cage or cool motor or anything, but it’s looking a lot better. I also had to fix a lot of the normal things the car should have(dome lights, horn that works, power locks, cruise control, washer fluid reservoir and pump, rear seat belts, etc.) The previous owner had cut all the wiring and deleted all that stuff so it’s been a pain, but I’ve learned a lot about the e30’s in the process. There are differences in the interior, seat belts, and wiring, gauge clusters between my two e30’s which have given me issues but I’m making progress. I loved watching you work on the Mustang as the first Mustangs are my favorite, but seeing you guys working on your e30’s is more enjoyable because you’re doing a lot of the things I’ve been doing. You definitely have better resources and talent than I do though. Keep up the great work.
I love your channel. I can tell that you’re very passionate at what you do. Never lose the love for cars and keep grinding. Your hard work will payoff.
when you find a position for the seat, it is pretty common to build a brace between the harness bar and the back of the seat. Really stabilizes the seat. Project looks great so far...good idea dyeing the carpet. don't forget dynamat under the panels
V, you need a contour gauge to make those tricky cuts like on that back mdf, and engine firewall of the mustang... they're cheap and way faster and easier than cardboard templates...
Put carpet unstead of that mdf pannel and insulation foam. It will look amazing. Thumbs up its coming together. I can't wait to see tge LS engine running this built, it will be a beast!
The fabric paint really worked well... Was thinking you might have to get it color dye..... Just a suggestion, after you finish the paint job n do the final interior work install the sound damping sheets to the interior and then carpet them.... Can't wait to see the engine work. All the best 👍🏻
You guys need a contour gauge for all those custom irregular shape cutouts like the rear seat MDF. They are cheap and the result is professional looking fitment.
I would suggest framing out the back panel and leaving plexiglass window to show off the metal stamp work designs. It will allow you to highlight the designs while adding some sound barrier at the same time.
Best current build on TH-cam 👍 Back panel would look great as it is & with a fire extinguisher mounted? Hope the brake light hole on the rear shelf gets covered up if the light isn’t going to be refitted (slight OCD😂)
I cleaned the carpet by hitting it with the pressure washer after letting the detergent soak in for about 20 mins. After it dried I then used the paint and it went on pretty even and had great adhesion to the fabric.
When spraying carpet you brush it in one direction first spray it then brush it in the other direction and spray it again then if it needs another coat you brush it 90^ to they way you did before. That way you get all the strands fully coated.
When we spray color automotive carpet we do sections and brush it into the fiber with a medium stiff brush, then second coat the entire carpet lightly. Gets in the fiber better.
future advice: My dad was a carpet layer for 40 plus years and if I've learned many things from him, always let the cleaner soak into the carpet before you start scrubbing it. they also have die where you can dye the carpet to match the original color. Please wear a respirator when you're painting inside. I know that you think you're going to live forever but you'll thank me when you're in your fifties.
I was thinking a liquid Dye would be a much better result. The fibers of the carpet will not be evenly coated and you can end up respraying from every angle trying to get a uniform look.

Hey, try painting your roll cage .. white It will pop out really good
I think red pain is more attractive then black paint on roll cage

He progresses rather quickly in his builds and remains on a consistent upload schedule. Keep up the grind
Gotta love V. No sheets or blankets down just spray it on the floor of the garage. Adds character lol. Nice job mate
It's coming together mate! I'm excited for this one
you know what what i'd do in the back? to put black carpet with a decently large vTuned logo in white.
Or light blue to match the rollcage
exactly what i was gonna comment
spray Vtuned in black on the blue!
You should carpet that back wall. It looks unfinished without carpet.
Or paint it black to blend in
Add another panel to the back area you were thinking about leaving open., go for the cleaner look with black carpet like the rest. You do such good work I think it might leave the "unfinished" look and you know it will bug you, so just go ahead and do it now.
I agree 100%
Looks silly that way
@@joshuakay4427 Yes black carpet for sure
Carpet panels with metal rings and add nutserts to keep it light and nice
That back seat needs four 12" subs and a big amp displayed in custom fiberglass! Bringing back the 90s!
That sounds sick just imagine ✅✅🔥🔥🔥
An idea for that back panel is, cut a piece of that carpet exact and slowly spray glue it on the back. Press all those patterns into the carpet while gluing it so you can still see the patterns thru the carpet.

same!!! it grew on me quick. #ls
Same here

when you fit the roll cage weld nuts on to the outside plates, then you dont need a spanner just buzz the bolt in-out.
The interior looks so clean 🤟🏻
You have got to carpet the back panel it will look so much better with the roll cage painted blue
Really interesting build. You are doing a superb job on that interior. Back panel surely has to Vtuned logo??? I stopped using MDF some years back when the warning came out about wearing a mask due the dust causing lung cancer, and I cannot wear a mask due to medical reasons.

definitely cover the back section in carpet as well!
But it has this design on it and looks dope.....

De e36 zal niet zo legendarisch worden als de E30 & E46. Sommige dingen doen ze wel leuk met die E30's in de states, maar soms is het ook om te huilen
@@krijngouka3496 Ik denk dat deze voor hun er best goed uit zal zien en rijden😎
Really nice work! I say carpet the back wall using spray adhesive. You can still follow the cool shapes and have a finished look.

I would leave the back blue the way it looks . Looks good👍
I love your channel. I can tell that you’re very passionate at what you do. Never lose the love for cars and keep grinding. Your hard work will payoff.
Coming along great. Carpet the back area. Brings everything together .
I never seen in my life a carpet been spray paint, first time for everything. Car is looking good
wrapp the back panel and the tops of the wheel wells with the black carpet it will give the rear section a more complete and uniform look
when you find a position for the seat, it is pretty common to build a brace between the harness bar and the back of the seat. Really stabilizes the seat. Project looks great so far...good idea dyeing the carpet. don't forget dynamat under the panels
Love the build...please cover the back with carpet also!!!
You need to get a profile gauge to help get the right shape it's better than pieces of card
V, you need a contour gauge to make those tricky cuts like on that back mdf, and engine firewall of the mustang... they're cheap and way faster and easier than cardboard templates...
Put carpet unstead of that mdf pannel and insulation foam. It will look amazing. Thumbs up its coming together. I can't wait to see tge LS engine running this built, it will be a beast!
Thumbs up, there's a lot of hard work in this video to get it looking the way you want it. Minor details that make a difference.
I really like this renovation series! Amazing how you can revive those carpets
Cover that exposed blue part it'll look better🥰❤️
Check out DetailGeek, drill brush and Bissell would’ve made quick work of that carpet
Yes..or a pressure washer with carpet shampoo..a couple hours in the sun to dry..would look and smell new..🙂
Subbed three weeks ago loving DetailGeek
Carpet the back part 👍👍
I would have put the seats back in and trimmed around the cage
great job, this beautiful beamer is coming back to life, well done
Never knew you could paint carpet...always learning from you Vtuned
The fabric paint really worked well... Was thinking you might have to get it color dye..... Just a suggestion, after you finish the paint job n do the final interior work install the sound damping sheets to the interior and then carpet them.... Can't wait to see the engine work. All the best 👍🏻
Thumbs up and fantastic job with this project . Thanks for sharing this build.
Cover that blue area with black carpet it will look good.
Your a man of many talents, well done. Looking forward to seeing it finished.
Paint the back part.. With GUN METAL colour or with metallic grey colour.
That would be epic.
Great work guys🥳
You’re making great progress vtuned looking forward to the painting and getting all the fittings installed
CAD for the Mustang! Nice choice my man 👍👍👍
Excited to see the complete build 😎
Coming together really nice man.
Cool building
Love the way this is going. Simple steps but beautiful
You guys need a contour gauge for all those custom irregular shape cutouts like the rear seat MDF. They are cheap and the result is professional looking fitment.
If you run a strip of tape on MDF then cit thru the tape it makes it not split as bad along cut
nice work, look forward to seeing it painted with the engine in
I would suggest framing out the back panel and leaving plexiglass window to show off the metal stamp work designs. It will allow you to highlight the designs while adding some sound barrier at the same time.
Looks fantastic, very clever! I would put a carpet on the back, to have it all matching!
I'm from Brazil and I'm a follower of the channel
Man... your builds are awesome ...we enjoyed it ..
A NOS bottle would look awesome installed on that back new back panel.
I would cover the back the blue clashes so much with the clean black interior
Looking forward for this and the mustang build
Best current build on TH-cam 👍 Back panel would look great as it is & with a fire extinguisher mounted? Hope the brake light hole on the rear shelf gets covered up if the light isn’t going to be refitted (slight OCD😂)
really good looking interior.
Use a power washer on the carpet. Believe me it can get much of the deep down dirt and stains out.
Yes. And it also works pretty well on headliners, as Whistlin' Diesel demonstrated so well.
is that carpet really dirty that need to use a power wash?
I think you should just polish the cage up little and clear coat it
I never knew you could paint carpeting! I learn something new with all these videos!👍
Really appreciated reusing the carpet. Most material manufactured years ago were better made.
Role Cage should be white but keep the back metal blue!!! that would be fire!
the square edges on the MDF is killing me
V-Tuned you all need to sweep the floor ocassionally.
It's a body shop, not a hospital.
@@houseofno It's also a video production.
Hola soy de Argentina buenos Aires te sigo siempre nome pierdo un capítulo sos un maestro como dejas los autos Saludos men
on the blue panel in the back, get an artist in to do a design on it. like graffiti or something! maybe colab with a local artist...
So welding metall and now doing upholstery, you can do it as always !!! Nice video en job ! I would put carpet also on the back off the interior
great video! looking real good!
i didnt even know one could paint carpet!!
learned something today!
thank you vtuned! 👍
Nice work on carpet!
You can see he sprays cleaning foam like he's doing a primer 😁 👍👍👍
You risked it for a biscuit spraying the carpet!
Great video again Vtuned
Rubber floor mats would do the trick. You could paint them blue if you wanted to go all out.
Awesome job Vtuned can't wait to see it done
I DONT LIKE FORD BUT I BEEN WAITING AND WAITING ON THAT MUSTANG BRO. COME ON NOE. MAKE ME A BELIEVER.
The interior looks great sofar
Love the contrast of interior!😍
Nice job coming along

this build is going to be 🔥 !
loving the build so far mate..
Looking good;looking real good.Very interesting build and I like the way you guys work together.
If you're into watching someone clean things then paint it with a $4 rattle can, this video is right up your alley!
damn the big surprise at the end oofff you guys are the best
