Really good things have been happening to dear little Faye Valentine. After many weeks of careful saving and many quotes and comparisons at various shops, I finally had the original seats re-upholstered in the original color---and they are BEAUTIFUL. And oh-so comfy. The high-quality vinyl looks a lot like leather too, I was impressed. I did some carpeting on my own and added rear speakers, and I also am working on building some front door panels; baby steps, baby steps...
The steering wheel was an ebay find ($36) and is pretty old (1960s or '70s); a bit battered, but it is still pretty, and it fits the imperfect nature of this car perfectly. I also broke down and bought the clear turn lenses for he front. I LOVE the way it looks. It's all in the details...

I got bored and drew our 145 while sitting in class...we were talking about perspective.
