Alright! $100! That's excellent, speaking about mods, I leathered my
dashboard no more cracks!!! I also restored an Italian (probably Dino)
shift knob, put some real leather on it. It has a silver VW symbol with
red background. The really interesting thing is that it's offset
backward a little bit so I thought it was defective, but when I put it
on and looked at it from the drivers position it's smack on in the
centre. That's amazing, that kind of detail I mean.
