Looks nice! I guess I should count myself lucky that I came with a black interior

What color are the seats? They look black/blue, but it could be the car?

nope the only thing i changed was the carpet. the seats, dash, bottom dash, door panels, center consle, roof int and back panels are painted with very costly paint then tuched up with spay paint. it looks good.

very nice job! But tan interiors are so rare! Only offered in the series 2 Maya Gold painted cars making this paint color rare too. I love black interiors but I'm restoring my gold seven like how it wouldve looked right off the assembly plant. less tan parts for me to find now. I need a storage bin (I already found one in new condition, luckily), door panels, headliner, carpets and some rear plastic pieces. But again great job on your conversion and minty looking parts!
