Hi guys,

Now that I have some time on my hands, I have been wanting to refurbish the interior of my 180D. As I've heard, it is more cost effective to have an auto upholstery shop do the interior rather than an actual aircraft interior shop. My plan is:

- 2 front seats, sheepskin and leather sidewalls
- Bench seat in the back, leather
- New carpet
- Sidewalls, top half leather, bottom half fabric or carpeting

I figure I can by the materials myself. Burn tested materials, of course. Any specific leather, fabric, carpet you guys recommend?

New carpeting is a must. I guess I'll use the old stuff as a template. Any recommendations on something to take the carpet glue off the bare metal?

As you can tell, I have quite a few questions, so any comments would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
