    I will finish write up tommarro. I ordered 2 yards. It will do 5 dash pads. I am going to use the rest for my console

    OK, now that you have done the dash pad, do you think that a Granada console could be saved this way?

    How about the rear interior panels on the sides of the rear seat ... too complex?
