Question It's what's INSIDE that counts

I am the proud owner of a SPOTLESS stock '83 and am trying my best to keep it that way. The interior is starting to show its age and I need some advice... please.

The seats and door panels are starting to crack and wrinkle. I will do whatever necessary to reverse the aging process. Can anyone point me in the direction of new door panels or new seat material, or suggest how I can make it better.

I love my 7, drive it everyday (summers) and will do anything to keep it looking as close to showroom as possible. Thanks for the help.

call around to local bone yards, get them to locate the stuff you need. As for interior seats. talk to a boat canvas shop, you'll be amazed at what projects they'll take on. Another thing to make it look better is armor all.

I have an almost stock 83 and pride myself in keeping it as stock as possible. The only thing I have changed is when I took the car to an trim shop and had them redo the doors and seats.

This would be the web link they offer a free catalog, and it only takes a couple of days to arrive.
