8) The Interior. Unless it has been recently replaced will almost certainly show its age through wear and tear. Replacement parts are readily available (with the exception of the glove box knob). Instruments may be a little difficult to obtain. My car had been stripped of its interior with the exception of one door panel and the seats. The seat upholstery and foam rubber will be replaced. The seat backs and mounting frames are very useable, but the seat bottoms were thoroughly rusted, a common problem. The seat slides that mount to the floors and allow for adjustment were solid and unnmoveable.

Interior problems were obviously nonexistent. No worries matching colors- all needed to be replaced. |
