Does anyone have detailed photo's of the original 1800 GT upholstery and dashboard components?. The race prepared car I recently puchased (#4026) has had the interior virtually stripped out, as is common practice for racing in Europe to save weight. I will need to restore some of the interior (with the help of an upholsterer) to comply with the local Australian rules for racing in Group S Production Sports Car Class. As a minimum I will need to install a near replica of the seats. I am allowed install ready made racing seats "of period type" but the width between the door sills and centre tunnel makes it difficult to find anything that fits. So it will probably be easier to get seat squabs and backrests custom built in like the originals. Also, the dashboard would look much nicer if closer to original, it has been removed completely and replaced with a centre console housing a small cluster of instruments and switches. I don't believe that either of these changes would add much in the way of weight (which racers are fanatical about...for good reason) but would add tremendously to the appeal. So if anyone has photo's, possibly taken during restoration (preferably of the seating components outside of the car) or specs or drawings or patterns (well you never know!) and similar for the dashboard I would be most appreciative. Thanks very much for your help. Regards Laurie #4026
