Should this cover it?

So, I've ordered a new motor, getting a new tranny and currently upgrading my suspension. There's only two more things to do to my Camaro RS and that is the body work and interior. I've been saving all the money I can for the past four years (actually five but the first year doesn't count) and I'm now able to start doing work to my car....thank ***! Anyway, after buying the motor, the tranny, the suspension parts, and all the accecories needed to get it running I'm left with a little under $7,000.

I haven't been to any body shops or upholstery places yet but do you think this should cover the cost of doing the work I need? Here is what needs to be done:

Painted dark blue with white race strips, some minor body work (10 nickle size dings, and one dent about 2''x4'' on the passenger door).

New carpet front to back
Seats reupholstered in leather
New door panels (and armrest)
New dash pad

Thats it. Think that will cover it?

for the seats, forget it. I say go on ebay and buy some 4th gen leathers for under 600$ and theyll look 10x better then redone 3rd gens. just my .02, and drop a 4th gen console in there too.. looks sweet imho.

I agree with Woota, go with 4th gen seats, look and feel better.

Yeah, I guess 4th gen seats would be cheaper. I don't know...I was planning on keeping the cars appearace as stock as possible. I've been leaning towards 4th gen seats so I might buy some to toss in there and see how they look. If I don't like them I can always sell them again.

Thanks guys
