    Atacama? Are you mad?

    Daydreaming... reading adverts in the trader. Idea pops into my head.

    What about Atacama custom interior for Betsy. The GT interior which I bought 2nd hand - drivers seat pad is shot & the alcantera is worn/heavily bobbled.

    I am thinking 4 seats, sun visors and accents in the door cards a la T5 collection style?

    The chances of second hand Collection seats from a C70 are practically zero given that only 300 were ever sold in the UK.

    Probably cost a grand to do?

    or should I just stick with dark?

    That's what I want for my C70, MRP found a scrapper with one in before Christmas, but it disappeared.

    Yep, looked good too. I'm always on the lookout for another set but like you say - rocking horse poo!

    Hate to say it but the second picture doesn't look at all that bad, all you have to do now is find a decent set.

    You may well have to mate, I promised the first set I find to Steve.

    Sorry but I don't believe even Colin the benevolent would give a full carded atacama interior for 55 smackers?

    Same price I paid for mine

    Down side is, you gotta pull it out of the car yourself. Saying that, you do get EVERYTHING inside the car for that price.

    No, I mean my interior was the same price.
    The scrappy I use works on a 1 price system so if you want an interior for a jag or punto, it's all 55.50. Same with engines, body panels etc.

    Think the interior I used was called Gobi.

    The one I had lined up for Steve had a slight fade on the driver's bolster and the driver's doorcard was "unknown" as the photos didn't show it but the rest was spotless.
    You've seen my seats too Graham, other than the little scuff, again on the driver's bolster, they're perfect.
    It's all a matter of time, waiting for the right one to come along. However, Dave is probably better off getting his trimmed if he wants the new interior before he's a grandad lol.
