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 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Can’t tell for sure from the photos, but the seats’ stitching between each panel changed in 74 or 75. Earlier had stitching, later had melt pressing. I have a 74 with the stitching but it has a lot of 73 parts in it.
