Well I have made some progress on my interior.
I have almost finished plastic welding and fiber glassing my interior pieces.
I decided to let the pros handle recovering the parts for me, so I got in contact with Pro Seat Automotive Interior Center. He is the guy that advertises on Ebay making the Seat Cover Replacements.
I have decided on Black and Cream Two Tone.
He gave me a quote to:
Make my replacement Seat Covers (Front and Rear) with, Coloured Stitching and Embroidered Emblem
Supply Material and Recover my Front and Rear Upper Window Trims, A Pillar Cover, Center Console Lid
Supply Material and Recover Lower Half of Door Trim on Front Driver and Passenger Doors
All of this for $1200 plus he will supply a quote to Recover my Dash Board. I will have to remove the dash and refit it as well as the door, window and seat trims.
He is using a reborn leather, which I have seen samples of his work and it looks like the same material used in my mates BA XR8 which was optioned with leather from the dealer.
I was very happy with the quality of his work and the material being used.

Yeah I debated with the idea of changing colour with Vinyl Die but all my door panels are cracked with visible damage. Trims in good condition are pricey, if you can find them.
This way, the upholsterer is going to cover over the original factory material which will help with the strength, on top of resin and plastic weld.
