I have a 73 with the lighter color Tan interior. Its completely in need of replacement. I see carpet kits, door panels and seat kits from a few internet stores.
Looking for YOUR experienced opinion of Quality vs Price and good service??
Price matters, but not as much as fit and finish! I want to keep the factory color as close as possible. I can do some R&R, cut fit glue, etc. The more complete I can buy the better.

Thanks in advance for your comments!!

I can tell you now that no one has anything close to original tan carpeting, at least as far as I know. You might be able to match the color but not the original texture. I happen to own an original tan interior in near mint condition & have been trying to replicate it in my six. I took the seats, seat back, door panels & center box/pad out of another 74 like mine & put them in my six, but had to "settle" on the tan carpet kit AA sells for that car. Tan, otherwise known as cinnamon, is pretty much unobtanium. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
