I would HIGHLY encourage anyone wanting to redo a Marigold standard '76-'78? to buy this stuff from Steve as frankly upholstery cloth is REAL expensive. I didn't fully realize this until I started looking for some gray for my '95 EVC and noticed you can not buy ANYTHING for under $20/yd and anything you want to buy is $30-$40/yd. This stuff is NEW 54" wide '76 manufacture VW cloth folks. Considering idiots want $60 for a single upper bunk cushion $12 a yard is a steal. I honestly don't remember what I paid back then for it I bought the two rolls from the Trim Shop for something like $700 or so I recall and we split it up among 8-10 people at the time at cost. It seems to me it was about $12/yd or so, maybe a bit more or a bit less I recall losing money on it by the time I paid for boxes and all. Somebody could dig through REAL old vanagon archives if they really wanted to know what it cost. It is mostly yellow and green (1-1.5" stripes) with some orange and black (0.5" stripes.) It wouldn't be strictly correct in an orange or green westy but considering how tacky this stuff is anyway (and I say that with love) if you recover the entire bus it would go well enough.
