The headliner and window trim got a white leather with a blue tint.  For the floor, a dense pile charcoal gray carpet fit the bill.</B></div> <div> <B>Arturo painted all of the plastic trim below the windows.  Instead of paint, all of the plastic and metal trim pieces around the windows wer wrapped in the same leather chosen for the headliner.  I'm not exactly sure how he pulled that off, but it looks 10 times better than painted trim.</B></div> <div> <B>The seats were completely rebuilt from the frame up.  The side panel inserts were cut from sheet aluminum (no more cardboard!).  </B></div> <div> <B>Overall, I couldn't be more pleased with the results.  The plane not only looks brand new inside, but it smells like new too!</B></div> </td> <td valign="top" BGCOLOR="#0066CC" TEXT="#080000"> <div> <FONT SIZE="5" COLOR="#99CCFF" FACE="Arial" ><B>John Galban's Flying Site</B></FONT><FONT SIZE="1" COLOR="#FFFF99" FACE="Arial" > </FONT><FONT SIZE="1" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" > </FONT><FONT SIZE="1" COLOR="#CC0000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT>  |     <A HREF="index.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="John Galbans Flying Site"><U>home</U></A></div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="14" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" WIDTH="16"><B>     </B><A HREF="id72.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Interior Refurb 1"><U><B><IMG SRC="04910100.gif" border=0 width="16" height="16" ALT="previous" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></U></A><B>     </B><A HREF="id75.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Wildfire Summer 07"><U><B><IMG SRC="04a10100.gif" border=0 width="16" height="16" ALT="next" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></U></A><B>     </B><A HREF="index.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="John Galbans Flying Site"><U><B><IMG SRC="04b100e0.gif" border=0 width="16" height="14" ALT="up" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></U></A><B> </B></div> <div> Interior Refurb #2</div> <div> (The new stuff)</div> <div> <IMG SRC="26220580.jpg" border=0 width="800" height="600" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> The side panels are now firmly attached to the walls and no longer threaten to interfere with the flight controls.  Note the refurbished trim on </div> <div> The armrest well and even the lower air vent was spiffed up and painted.</div> <div> <IMG SRC="26320580.jpg" border=0 width="800" height="600" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> The seats were taken down to the metal frames (which were sanded and painted).
