I'm new, I'll readily admit it.
I'm wanting a 75-76 2.0 and would like to do the entire interior in leather. Is this a huge mistake? |

In Texas.... yes. Leather hates direct sun and sweat. Lots of care required to keep it nice and supple.
I had a 94 Infiniti a few years ago. Drivers door panel in leather looked horrible and good luck finding one in better shape. Contrary, the vinyl in my older Pathfinder still looks good, and the cloth seats held up better plus it breathes so my back isn't wet with sweat. A vinyl seat isn't any better but the 914 basket weave texture helps. That being said, I'm redoing my interior in a 2 tone leather look vinyl, likely perforated vinyl seats, and keeping my cloth covered pillars. Re-upholstering seats here is $200-250 each including a good cloth/vinyl, for bottom back & headrest. |
