    I've got a 73 electra 4 door
    Most of interior was beat up except headliner , dash , seat belts, some door panels and steering column
    The metal panels under dash need repainting
    They are dark blue
    Seats were trashed so I got another seat front and rear real nice shape but it's a dark red from a 76 olds 96
    My problem is 73 and 76 have diff mounting points on roof for front belts
    I don't have any red c pillar material
    Headliner from olds has the big could out for the top of seat belts
    I don't have any carpet as both were trashed
    Dash and all interior parts would need to be painted red from current blue
    My steering wheel is blue
    My dash is blue
    The door panels are diffent style but need some work
    If I use the red interior I'd need to have it recovered
    I'm stuck on what to do
    Factory interior is blue and was bench
    In going 40/60
    Either route is going to suck and require funds

    Sounds like what you have to work with is about the same as that Lesabre I have. Found and purchased the factory correct material from SMS and had the seats recovered. Got a carpet kit from ACC and had my local shop recover the headliner. Got some color matched paint and freshened up the plastics. Probably got around 3K into it and 8 hours of my time.
