I like it a lot, and agree about considering returning it to the red/white interior as originally built.

The red/white interior really “pops” on a red car. I wish my red 65 coupe had it.

Yes, my 64 Rally red had an all red interior and I think it looked good.
A red and white interior should look great and is also “correct” for the car.
The PO had already replaced the door panels and seat covers with new (white). It will be a matter of re-dying the other interior pieces red and replacing the black carpet with red.
Good winter project😃

I love the all red ("porno red") interior in my Rally Red convertible, but if it were not all original I would consider going to white/red interior in it.
