Re: GTV6 leather interior

[George Graves <gmgraves@domain.elided>]

You have to keep looking around. Check gtv6.org, E-Bay, Craig's List, 
alfaclassifieds.com, etc. I have seen complete leather interiors; front 
seats, back seats, door panels, the whole works, in perfect 
condition,show up for sale for $500. You might also try Alfa Parts 
Exchange in Tracy CA. They are an auto dismantler/recycler specializing 
in Alfas (1-209-833-8330). Sometimes they get wrecked GTV-6s with good 
leather interiors. Also, places like International Auto Parts in 
Virginia (1-800-726-0555) sell leather re-upholstery kits for GTV-6s, 
but at about $2600, the upholstery is a bit dear - especially when you 
factor-in the added cost of having some local upholstery shop do the 
installation (which most people would require. Its not really a 
do-it-yourself project if you don't know how).
