What's an expected cost to soundproof, new carpet, rebuild seats with
leather? Headliner and side panels are fine.

I don't have the time or expertise to do any of this myself.

Anywhere from $800 to $3000, depending on the shop.

I just had mine done in leather, new side panels, carpet, everything, done
for less than $1000. (See it at http://alexisparkinn.com/new_interior.htm )
However, it took over a year to get done, and we're friends with the guy who
did the work.

Other estimates were much higher.

I believe we were quoted about 4500 to do the Navion.

I can't believe you could do the work for $800 even if the labor
was free.

Yeah, I think the poor guy ended up making at less than minimum wage.

Gotta love Iowa -- people here are just fair-minded and honest as the day is
long. Frank (the upholstery guy) knew that he had made me wait an
unconscionably long time for my interior, so he basically did it for free.

Funny, when that happens with avionics or an engine, the charge is actually
HIGHER.
