interior restoration cost?
So after 30 years of ownership the 930's interior needs a refinishing. Excluding the seats (Recaro race seats) rear deck and dash board what do you think it will cost to do the door panels, rear side panels and under dash. I did the top of dash and rear deck a few years ago. they came out perfect but my buddy did it as a favor for me rebuilding his race bike motor. I have no idea what a fair number would be. A shop just quoted me $4k for under dash piece, two door panels and two rear panels. Is that a fair number??? I would get my buddy to do it but he's on his third tour of duty in Afghanistan.

What's wrong with the current bits? Are they torn or is the leather just worn? If it's worn you can re-dye the leather and it comes just as good as new. That's an option worth exploring.

He will re-upholster your interior parts for you. I removed and sent him:
Dash, knee bolsters, center console, rear quarters, rear deck, door panel uppers, rear quarter panel uppers.
It was around $2500 for those pieces in new black leather and black stitching, french seams.
I removed the interior myself, carefully packaged up the interior and shipped it to him. Turnaround was around 2-3 weeks as I recall.
The work was excellent.
I found the removal and installation of the interior was not hard, just time consuming. If you can do the dash yourself the rest of the car was easy.
I did my dash and new windshield at the same time since the glass needed to come out.
Hope this helps you.

About 3 years ago I restored the interior in my 930. I used Bob Budd :

I've had good experience with re-dying also.And the best part is that it's actually pretty inexpensive. For sure didn't cost you $4k.
