I just bought a 71 maverick that needs the front & rear seats redone, new door panels & a dash pad. Is there any place that sells these things new/reproduction? I also need to know if granada spindles will work on the front end to covert it to 5 lug. Thanks for any help.
from Northeast Pennsylvania Granada spindles will work and give you 5 lugs and disc brakes Nothing else you mentioned is reproduced or sold as new. You need to find a shop that does upholstery work for the seats and door panels. There is a place that can redo a stock dash pad. The name of it eludes me at this time (Just Dashes?) but it is pricy. You can also post in the classifieds and possibly find some nice replacement parts
I just finished paying $1180 for my interior to be done and I still have to buy the carpet and after checking with other shops it seems to be quite the deal. one guy wanted $5k to do it
I forgot completely about mentioning the dash cap. I bought one myself but haven't installed it yet. I've seen pictures of the cap installed and it looks great
Welcome to the board and Mav ownership. There is a board member that does great work reproducing the interiors for our cars ... Fred Carillo ... fnc56 (iirc) is the screen name.
from Cali Most replacement stuff is cheap on ebay. I ended up buying a dash pad, headliner, and carpet kit all off ebay. Theres some good seller there that will actually call you to verify the year of car and diff options of there product.. In total I paid around 900 for everything to be replaced and recovered. But I still need a new wheel... Stray cats lived in my car for 10yrs. So all I could use was the seat frames. It was so nasty before... My advice. Just shop around. Meet all the guys in the business. With or without a shop. Dont pay in full and only drop off a lil at a time.
The rear panels an visors are also white. There just hiding in the trunk till I finish a few things up. Then Im on the road
