Hi Guys. Can anyone help or advise me. I have recently bought a 380SLC from an insurance salvage yard that was heavily vandalised. The seats have all been slashed and loads of red spray paint covers the interior.
I've done all the dash, sorted the bodywork and given the engine the TLC it has lacked in recent years, but I am stumped on what to do about the interior.
For the last six months I've posted hundreds of wanted ads everywhere I can think of to get a replacement. The interior is a biscuit coloured leather.
Should I just get a re-trim job done, if so by who and how much? My budget isn't vast so I doubt I'll be visiting the Rolls dealer who's fine work features elsewhere on this section, let's face it if I had that kind of money I would not be buying a write off from a salvage yard. That said, I'm not trying to cut corners, all the work done so far is at least up to what you would expect from MB.
Also where should I go to get the alloys restored and how much will that be. They're standard 16" merc alloys.
All help/advice appreciated
