Original interior with messed up console. A poor "upgrade" to the radio resulted in chopped opening that needs fix. Might have to replace the whole thing though, as the paint is chipping on the console.
Carpet and package shelf were cleaned up when I got her. Had to remove it all when I did POR 15 on the floors so I did steam clean and it looks great. Puffy under pad is in good condition as well. Seats had not been fed in a number of years and the pads were falling apart. I did a full Lexol treatment to get them supple again. I replaced the headrest stuffing on the passenger side and redid the pads on the driver seat. Feels like passenger seat will hold out a few more years, then I will stiffen up both seat springs. Dash and door panels are clean now. They do not look new, or blow ice cold, but do not look 40 years old. Roger saw her at the Show and Shine this August and was impressed with how nice it looked. Not a show car or concours, just a high #2 or low #1 clay 1974 450sl - Frosch - Two tone green 1972 220D - Gump - She is green, simple and ran 1995 E300D - Cleo - Used by the Queen of Denial POS 1987 SDL - Beware Nigerian Scammers On Oct 15, 2012, at 8:32 AM, Randy Bennell wrote: > > Different issue but how is the interior?
