I would have thought them items were obselete and only like stumble across items like that randomly or if you hunt for ages if you know what im saying? From what VL30ET told me hes just going to throw some buckets in no re-trim. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

LOL @ 5spdvl, cheers mate Yep, just gona get some red buckets and put them in, I realise it will be a different red, but it should look good. I do actually know someone who has some GMH madeira red Berlina material, He is a trimmer too, only problem is it is the later type of fabric, mine is early S1, but oh well I am just extremely happy I got My hands on this lot seeing how spotless it is. I should thank Wayne (SXC - 747) for spotting it on the Advance Auto Salvage web site Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Nah, they sold them, which is a bummer, I rang almost every wrecker in Adelaide and they all told me I was dreaming about finding some in red. But I'm keen on the idea of red racing buckets, together with the red interior it will be something completely different to anything I have seen on any cruises or at any show n shines here in Adelaide.

Was browsing eBay, as You do twice a day and found a couple of bargains. Red high rise and sunglasses holder, I do already have these, but they were cheap and look to be even minter than the ones I got so I put some bids in and no-one else bid, so I got my self a bargain. Got the two for $50 including post, which I am pretty happy about. Also bought myself an amp kit last night, so as soon as that is in, I can lay down the carpet and finish the rest of the interior.

NO FUCKING SHIT - I was watching those in my eBay and actually emailed the seller to see if he had a complete interior!!! Damn you! Haha, what're the odds? Good buy though. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I now have 3 red sunglasses holders one of them is a lil bit damaged on the liner, so that one will become a gauge holder Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I'm starting to get scared about missing summer and thinking about just doing new rings, bearings, timing belt and hone the bores, use the stock turbo and ecu, put the N/A auto in with the turbo stall and spool the 25 spline diff then just build my spare motor, turbo auto and do the diff later when all that goes in. Got 95% of the interior done, just need front seats, paint the steering column, new steering wheel, cluster and the driver's side of the dash completed!
