I’m restoring a 1975 that came with this tan interior, which appears to be original.
I’d like to make things as period-correct as possible — any thoughts on how to handle these door panels? The speakers definitely do not look factory. Is it worth preserving the original material, or better to reupholster without the speaker holes? Also, any thoughts on the torn seat vinyl? Better to patch/stitch or is matching new material available? Finally, any advice about repairing or replacing the cracked door pocket? Thanks, Gord     |

Wow, thanks everyone for all the info!
I can confirm that my door panels appear to be the correct 75 "brick weave / square weave" — the colour seems to shift depending on the camera angle, but here's a closeup shot:  As far as restoring to factory condition, the only issue is the door panels is that they've been butchered for speakers, which I guess I'll have to decide if I want to keep or not. Can anyone tell me what the correct seat covering should be for this 1975 door-panel/back-pad combo? Gord |
