Over the past few weeks I decided to reupholster the ripped up interior in my '60 +4 4 seater. I started by taking out all the old rubber carpeting and pleather, then replaced the floorboards and installed nice black carpet. I ordered an upholstery kit from Morgan Spares in NY. Overall the fitted pieces fit well (I had to modify the rear seat cushion and back to get it to work). Also replaced all of the wooden panels and hardware and covered them in nice leather. Today I finally got all the panels in and most of the trim pieces and lift-the-dots back in place. Feeling accomplished so had to post a 'high res' picture. I've never done any upholstering or leather work so I'm really happy how it's come along so far. Hopefully will be back on the road within the next few days, then time to pull the engine and have it rebuilt by Macy's Garage in OH .

Now that does look smart. Are they lift dots on the hood frame? My '76 has turnbuckles. I cannot be sure they are original.

Looks very smart, indeed! My 4-seater (1990) has only lift-the-dots on the windscreen, except from 3 lift-the-dots on the dash for the tonneau. For the rest only turnbuckles and a few "pushers" (don't know the proper english word...). Congratulations with this achievement!
