How much would it cost to restore the interior to a different color? 120-130

It looks like it would be about $1400 to *replace* all the interior panels from a place called Swedish Treasures

http://www.swedishtreasures.com/1201.html

about half way down the page...

There may be cheaper alternatives, I don't know.

BUT

The previous owner of my 1800 had changed the interior color from red to black (and the exterior from white to red for good measure) and it looks like he just used that vinyl spray paint. I've used the stuff before on a vinyl Eames knock-off chair and it worked alright exept I didn't really clean it very well (I didn't clean it at all) and the paint rubbed off eventually. If you go that route, be sure to clean and degrease the seats and door panels really well. The upholstery on the seats in the 1800 is holding up really well and is only showing red through on the driver's seat piping. I'm guessing you want to switch from that butterscotch pudding color to a more pleasant hue? I'm considering the same thing in my 122. The right way to do it would be to replace all the parts with ones of the right color, but that's waaay too expensive to consider.

skaal!
