Too bad about the roof. Grille, trims and bumper look ok. Rest unimportant. Is this car still somewhere or is it already crushed? Like the blue on the silver. Cool

The gun metal grey car has light grey trims. That's different? Mostly they were silver.
Always prefered the red interior over the black one...and mine has the black.

If you dont like the black seats - I will swap them for my leather living room recliner - Throw the whole car in and you may get the settee as well  Grin Grin Grin

Red seats in a 131 - really !!!! You only get them covered in oil fixing and tweaking  Grin Grin

Curt,

I never said i don't like the black interior. I just prefer the red. Never had it in my car but i find it suits with the gun metal grey and silver lining.

I know you're making fun, Curt. Wink

At the moment i'm working three cars at the same time. Because the Abarth needs some parts that are very expensive and even harder to find i have to put it on hold. The replica is on for some major cleaning up. Have to take off all protection stuff and metal parts that don't belong on the rally car. And believe me, that's a lot. Should take off some kilo's.
Just got the Racing running again and now i am fixing everything that needs to be fixed to get it nice and ready for the road again. After ten years of standing it really needs work. And i don't mean changing the black interior for a red one...would be nice though... Wink

Guys, the colour debate is always interesting!

My brother-in-law brought a gunmetal car with a black interior, then a silver car with a black interior, then a black car with a black interior.  Another friend brought a black car with a black interior and an electric sunroof!

I got a gunmetal car with a red interior.  I like the combination.

I realise I may get shot for this, but here goes anyway..........

Remove seats from car.
Carefully remove 'hog rings' (round metal clips) and peel covers back from seats.  You need to unhook the through bars that keep the seams straight.
Remove all clips, bars, and rings.
Check seams for splits and loose stitching.  Repair and damage.
Distract wife and place in washing machine on a short, gentle wash.  Add one tablet to each load.
Remove from washing machine and tumble dry for 30 minutes.
Remove from dryer and place straight back onto seat while still warm.
Brush gently with a clothes brush to align the pile on the fabric.

It helps to concentrate on one seat at a time, and assemble it before you move to the next.

You will be stunned by the amount of dirt that comes out, and how bright the seats are when you put them back in the car!

Guys

You're right, they are difficult to put back, but if you try assembling while they're still warm they fit better.

When you wash a red sport interior, or a gold super interior they almost look metallic in the sunshine.

As for the washing machine, I managed to blag my way clear when my good lady returned home to find me baking enamal onto brake calipers in the oven!  I explained that it was new paint on calipers that had been blasted clean!
