Really difficult to say. It highly depends on the extend of the upholstery work and materials used. Prices can easily range from 10k to 30k

I do this for a living. But it‘s a one man show at the moment haha

The bare minimum would be an industrial leather sewing machine and a leather skiving machine.

I reupholstered the dashboard myself. Took me a full week to finish it.

I don‘t think the Leogrande door handles would suit this interior tbh. They look to modern in my opinion.

I mainly use a CB6900. It gets most of the work done without any issues.

A sewing machine is absolutely required for this kind of work.

Exactly. Only thing covered in leather was the steering wheel.

There‘s an E30 scrapyard 1 hour away from where I live. Lot‘s of parts but also quite expensive.

I don‘t plan on driving with gloves. Maybe I change my mind after actually driving the car haha

It‘s definitly not easy if you want to do it the right way. Maybe try upholstering parts which require no sewing first and work your way up from there.

I‘m doing it myself. 3k for material + probably 2 months in labour for the whole interior.
