Storage Compartments
Hi - gonna be bringing my 75 coupe interior back to stock (Med. Saddle, as per door pillar tag), currently bad, faded, aftermarket black. Have now got carpets, kickplates and handbrake console, but now mystified about storage compartments. Questions:
1. Presume the frame and buttons should match interior color (i.e. med saddle)? Mine's currently black.
2. What are the storage lids are thick card/MDF - what were they originally?
3. There are no bins as such, just a thick plastic material, a bit like a bag! Presume that the 2 LH storage bins were plastic? (and what color?)
If anyone's got any photos of the storage area, and compartment interiors that'd be great!
Thanks!

1. Frames and trim are interior color. Buttons (locks) should be bright metal -- not particularly chrome.
2. Original doors can be pressboard or plastic. Most of the repro doors are plastic.
3. Two bins. Center compartment is the glove box; it's a black fuzzy covered cardboard and will have the glove box light lens in it. Second is the lift out tray above the jack compartment. Also black fuzzy covered pressed board. Repros are plastic.

This link might help. They start to show the storage area around page 24.
