It's not the parts. They are all my original parts. It's the cost of the leather and the labour to do the custom work. Every part bar one or two plastic moulds will be redone in high quality leather from floor to roof. Seats are rebuilt as well. Take the dash pads. They will be stripped back to bare blanks and then the leather has to be scalloped thin to ensure correct fitting of gauges and centre console.
The tops are having the pads removed and custom made leather liners put in.
All the floor and firewall insulation and carpet is anything but standard.
So it's mainly the labour for the custom work and the cost of the leather itself. $10,000 is the top end allowing for trouble. If all goes well I will get out of it for $7000. I always allow for the worst when budgeting. Plus I might by new door trims.
