countach Interior restoration where to have it done?

First of all, be prepared to spend big bucks (probably in the area of at least $10K).

Secondly, do you want it done in your area, or doesn't it make a difference?

Will you be doing the dismantling of the interior, or will pay someone else to do it? If someone else does it, the 10K figure is out the window!

Paratelli in Italy: no question

dash is mousehair on 4000 countach

 

I would have thought the same job could be done in the US and probably local (ish) that could be done in Italy.

 

yes, but he asked the best place

and Paratelli is the BEST place

 

If you're doing the work you should start by posting pictures.

This project will be hugely popular with the "peanut gallery" here and it will be easier for those of us familiar with the cars to assist you if necessary.

 

should be this one:
PARATELLI BRUNO. INTERNI IN PELLE PER AUTO

There is no benefit to shipping your stuff to Italy. If you get in a bind I can provide you with a world class interior guy right here in the good old US (still a little trek from where you are though).

 

of course given toady dollar/euro it would hardly be the cheapest way to send it here

 

If you have time, pay 1,400 dollars for a round trip ticket to Morocco. Bring everything with you. It will probably cost no more than 1,500 dollars for everything. If you can't do that, send someone else who can. They speak English ! My wife just returned from vacation. It is very safe.

 

Would this shop in Monaco do the mousehair on the dash too?

 

I like Ralph's idea a lot. Add more intrigue and adventure to this story and hop a plane to Morocco and follow his advice. And keep us all informed through photos and 'story'. Return home safe with everything done beautifully AND on the cheap and live an adventure - document it all and write a freakin' book and I'll buy it!

 

LOL! That's a good one. It would indeed be an adventure.

Morocco isn't Monaco, verrrrrry different.

 

'doh!

Well, at the very least, since I've been to Monaco but not Morocco, I'd be experiencing something new. I have friends who brought back pics of the leather tanning/dying places in Morocco and it was off the hook.

 

Kie,

I urge you to go the Morocco route and of course you will need a support staff (me ) who will take photos, scout out dangerous alley's, and since you will no doubt have your HOT lady with you, I will have to make sure and intercept all the sexy female double agents so they don't mess you two up! Of course they will stuff the Countach seats with some sort of highly illegal contraband making the return to the US full of challenge..I am here to help!

 

Chris and Peggy Bible. Bible auto interiors in Orlando, Florida. They do all the resto work for Ultimate Motors. Top notch. Had seats and shoulder bumpers in a Murci done there, work was impeccable. Shipped them to them and had them back in 6 days!!!

 

Tim,

Question is: are there insurgents in Morrocco now?

I mean if radical fundamentalists seize the Countach interior for use in military vehicles, do you have any recourse with local authorities?

Just curious.

You cannot just drop the item and leave. You would have to wait, for all of the work to be finished. In addition, you would have to look in on the work at the time of fabrication, to make sure that the quality of the stitching is good. If you have the time, if would be worth it. Fez and Casablanca, both have a lot of leather fabrication shops. If you can take a three week vacation, it would be worth it.

Mousehair ? I doubt it.
