It's beautiful! How much does it cost to replace?

Cool! Mind sharing pricing? I’m looking into this as well.
Sourcing the right color is key, I agree. That was the part of the project I was most involved in. We were initially going to use vinyl but my restyler found a leather that was almost perfect. The thickness of the leather vs. vinyl is not really an issue. I love it.
Thank you. Replaced all the interior vinyl except for the top dash and glove box panels with leather. (Those panels were scrubbed and lightly redyed.) Recovered the mid-dash, entire console, doors, rear side panels, and front and rear seats. There are some who are under the impression that there is a lot of factory leather in these cars. The only factory leather is the console lid, arm rests, and the fronts of the seats. Sorry, can’t discuss pricing, the wife may be watching. She‘s already suspicious.
Hi Paulie,
Now I guess that that lovely leather will start seeing the sun. So you must protect it. Try pure neatsfoot oil rather than "prime neatsfoot oil" or "neatsfoot oil compound" which contain mineral oils which can degrade your leather.

Very nice...I bet you could feed a small village for a year with what that cost!
