    My inner OCD made me start a new project: cabin recommissioning.

    Car has 22kkm (~14k miles) and one of the nicest preserved interiors around, BUT - you can always make nice ... nicer, ha!

    Some people don't mind the patina and some like when everything looks brand new (or almost brand new). I'm in the later camp.

    There's some color wear on the bolsters.

    Too much time on ones hands will do this. Boredom is a powerful thing.

    Those seats look awesome, but then to my eyes so did the "before" condition. The only flaw I see with the seats is the wrinkles on the seat bottom, it seems that every single TR has that. I assume that is a result of the curvature on the OEM seat cushion, has anybody come up with a solution to eliminate it?

    On my car the seat bottom cushion feels a bit compressed/packed, what replacements foam are folks using when they refresh the seats?

    As much I wished my car was perfect - it was not. It had some typical scratches for every Testarossa: on the handbrake, driver's seat side bolstering, instrument clusten binnacle top edge, etc. Plus, the whole dash was showing a moderate amount of the chalky discoloration, which you can see here:

    Left - before; right - after.

    Now whole interior looks perfect (basicly brand new).

    Here are some more samples:

    Sorry for a dirty door sil - we will dry-ice clean it.

    I will do a detailed interior photoshoot when the car is ready.

    While having the dash out, we have also replaced the tweeters. I have posted many pics in this thread:
