Sound's like you are trying to make it "too pretty". If you have original
seats and they arn't torn,by all means keep them. I kept my original ones
as long as possible then got the new ones that also have the waffle pattern
in them. I would have kept the original ones if I could have.

work on the car is the interior, i.e. seats. They are original and although
worn with a few marks there are no rips or tears. They have a nice patina.
I have won every show in my class this year and I am thinking of entering
in one Concours event for the experience next year. Here comes the question.
