This Soarer i've just landed has an absolute Pig of an interior, any tips tricks to get it up to scratch,the door trims are cracked everywhere, has any one retrimmed there doors to cover them up , or is it more cost effective to just locate some good nick second handers.
Also the rear seat looks as though the previous owner has spilt acid or something on it, re trim or find another one ?? Same with the front seats , there literally falling apart...I need some help here, i'm losing my mind fixing this thing. AHHHHHHH !!

Hudson, mate sorry to hear that, didn't the supplier send you photo's or any accurate description?
Re-trim would really depend on how many cracks or how big the holes are but it is possible to retrim them here in Perth. If they're badle cracked then wreckers are the go.
You might want to go and see Shaun and Regan at DCI's at unit 7 / 73 Buckingham drive in Wangara. They'll be able to have a good look for you and give you some options/suppliers.

I have personally inspected the interior of this and unfortunately a complete retrim or alternatively replacement seats (all 3) is the only solution

Neglecting a car like this ought be criminalised!

Andre ,its a long story, but basically the seller did send photos, but, as I was in a rush to have it freighted interstate,I relied on the fact that the vehicle was in as a described condition (on a certain well known forum),that being, an apparent few little cracks here and there in the interior, body in good nick , just minor things ( ahahaha...) etc etc.He said he would send the detailed pics ASAP, I still haven't got them. Oh well you live and learn. Unfortunately for me it was the hard way.

Yeah you see how that trim is a pig sty don't you Maffa.

Josh I believe they're the "Spruce" leather.
The deal is, because the car requires more time, than I can provide,(it was to be my fiance's and my daily driver),im attempting to neaten it up as cost affectively and then offload it to some one with more time/money. So I can purchase another Soarer,provided im not put of them by then, and have that as our daily driver.

Don't worry Huddo, we'll find you a good'un

This Soarer will require A LOT of work to bring up to reasonable condition. It was relatively cheap, but by the time you are finished cleaning it up I think you will spend at least what you paid for it - if not more - and even then it will still be in pretty ordinary condition...

Just offload it, chalk it up to experience, and start again!
