hey, Tom K. Yes, I am going to replace the beige interior w/ the new red one. I was a couple of weeks away from spending 5k to have just the front seats completely re-built/covered.
My existing interior looks good from about 20'. Tthe previous owner made a valiant effort to maintain the original leather - but the truth is that it has been dyed to within an inch of its life, it's cracked and most of the stitching has dry-rot. My door panels also need help since they have a set of round speakers that were poked through the leather AND the metal kick plate and surround. If you figure a totally new interior was going to be well north of 10k, Shaughnessey's offer was one I couldn't refuse. and w/ a black car, I think the red interior will be awesome.

Santa came to the house today! and he brought lots of red leather with him. I unpacked all the pieces and everything looks fantastic - very little discernable wear, even on the driver's seat. I'm sorry that the donor queen is gone forever, but I'm glad to be the recipient of its marvelously and recently redone interior.
thanks again, Tom
