That's more along the lines of what I was thinking of. Only problem is you usually have no idea if it was any good in that car either..... Quote Selected

The interior was MINT until I got hold of it. 100% stock. It would be easy to get to as well. The dash is gone and in the Sport. LOL. Quote Selected
