The interior upholstery was in very poor shape, but there was enough material to make templates for new covering. I picked a light blue vinyl to match the exterior Narvik Bleu and a navy blue vinyl for the interor trim and piping that matched the navy blue hard top and dash.  I borrowed my mother's sewing machine and sewed the new upholstery.  I also picked up some navy blue automotive carpert to cover the rear floor and also the bench seat back.
