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

The factory calls 74 tan "cinnamon". My six has a 74 LE cinnamon interior except for the carpeting, which is from AA. There are no sources that I'm aware of for this color in upholstery or carpeting (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
