Blue door panel / seat material (if original and correct) will be rare and not cheap either... I once priced a seat redo at the recommended place, and got hot flashes for a week... Black is easier but you should wait to see what the COA says. The smart $ is stock specs right now. It'll be worth it in the end, no doubt (stock Ts can now reach 6 figures in very original trim) but it's going to take a serious $$$investment$$$ to get to a nice condition if you stay stock (which you should, but heck, it's your car). It's easy to spend $10K just in interior bits nowadays, another $10-15K in paint + rubber, let alone suspension pan, engine, mechanicals, or rust.... Good idea to build a garage - those things are relatively cheap to insure with a classic insurance but it needs to be locked up ;-)

I hope to get the door pockets recovered, my goal is to re-upholster/re-finish/re-use everything that is still salvageable. I plan on staying stock, but I have another motor that I'm building (pics in this thread) and it has a stuck piston. I am pricing it out now and I am thinking about converting it to 2.5l.
