I do not own a plane. I’ve actually never even been on a plane. Okay, I’m terrified of planes and I have no idea how I got to this video, but I did and I couldn’t stop watching. Great work! Really looks amazing.
i guess im randomly asking but does anyone know of a method to log back into an Instagram account..? I was stupid forgot my account password. I would appreciate any tricks you can offer me.
@Jadiel Rhys i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff now. I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Hi Jim, congratulations on your great interior job, very motivating to update my 73M...also any idea when the interior door lock handles were changed like in your 75M mine are farther back and just a handle, not built into arm rests...thanks
No, I have no idea about any changes to the door lock. I can tell you that is the only place I have had problems after the upgrade. There is a cording just above the handle that is getting rubbed as the handle goes up and down. This is starting to show wear and I am not sure what I can do about it. I have thought about putting a small strip of clear tape across that section? You can sort of pull the handle towards you that minimizes the rub, but you have to remember to do that. So you may be better off.
Looks great! I'm thinking of doing something similar. Did Airtex recover your seats, and if so, what do you think of their work? Did the side panels fit properly? Thanks in advance.
Dave I ordered the interior kit made by Airtex for my plane. They fit great. Only problem was this was my first attempt and I had a learning curve. Airtex was helpful when I called them with a question. I don’t doubt they would do a great job if you had them do the work.
I used the glue AIrtex suggested but it took several cans more than they suggested. I did use Airtex insulation. I used metal spray paint for the metal parts from a building suppy/hardware store. The spray paint for the interior however, came from Plane Plastics.
Thanks for the video. I have been thinking of using these same products on my Cessna. Any tips or things you would do differently looking back on it now?
Biggest problem is lack of good instructions on some parts, like gluing up the pilot side panels. The copilot side, where we started, we didn't know where to start the carpet with the edge of the panel. There is a small piece of cloth attached to it. I will say I called several times and got advise from Airtex. My wife and I tried every way we could to get the foam and cover on the back of the back seat frame. I decided it was impossible, then my much younger son came along and pushed it down and we were able to attach the velcro. So when you think there is no way......
I believe I used White 15313 SEM spray paint from Plane Plastics. I purchased a clear primer that bonds the paint to the plastic from a local auto parts chain store.
Stunning renovation!!! I’d like to see that lower orange panel painted the same color blue as the plane’s striping! This was exciting to watch!

Your Cessna is the best. It look like a Mercedes :)

Looking good 👌🏻
6 Months later, I do not know of anything I would do differently. I would be glad to answer any questions you have.
What companies did you use. I may have missed it. My interior is dying.
Waiting on the dash upgrade :)
with Glass Cockpit, and L3 Transponder ufff gonna be a beauty
Took the ashtray out? Good luck with finding a buyer. Now your kids don't even have a place to put bubble gum wrappers.
I'm redoing my interior in my 175 and was wondering how to cut the area around the heat vent exit in the front kick panels? Thank you.
Great video and thanks for sharing. About how much did this upgrade cost?
Airtex Interior about $4700, Plane plastic about $2200, New Seat belts $1100. Total around $8,000..
Thanks Jim
@@jimcroome4703 That sounds about right. Nice job!
Jim,
Did you upgrade your instrument panel? What did you do about the orange on the circuit breaker panel? Do you have pics?

Can you tell me or show what product you used between plastic and windows on the radius of the plastic?
have a nice day. max speed with this plane is 200 mph. I want to make the range 1400 miles. How many hp should the engine be? please help me. thanks.
what did you use to remove the old door seal glue?
Your and my interior look almost identical now, same color, same belts (amsafe). Did you ever to the instrument panel?
Looks great! I'm thinking of doing something similar. Did Airtex recover your seats, and if so, what do you think of their work? Did the side panels fit properly? Thanks in advance.

Who did you order the sound insulation from? Thanks in advance. @@jimcroome4703
Dave M. Airtex has it in stock.
Jim What Glue did you use? What paint did you use for the seats, door trim, jams and plastics. Did you use airtex insulation? TIA
I used the glue AIrtex suggested but it took several cans more than they suggested. I did use Airtex insulation. I used metal spray paint for the metal parts from a building suppy/hardware store. The spray paint for the interior however, came from Plane Plastics.

Jim, is that a vinyl interior or leather?
Leather with the exception of the panel are vinyl.
Is the right seat adjustable as the left one?
Where did you get your new seats? Never mind - Airtex.
Yep
What color did you go with to spray your headliner?
I believe I used White 15313 SEM spray paint from Plane Plastics. I purchased a clear primer that bonds the paint to the plastic from a local auto parts chain store.
this may sound as a dumb question ? but dont you need a License to do this type of work ???
Some of it must be done under supervision under an FAA license mechanic to be legal. I did just that.
Nice work looks great.
