    The mav is gone but i'm still here!
    Welcome. No one is reproducing interior hard parts so youll have to get used ones. Theyre not that hard to find. Also you can dye them so think about that if you cant find them in your color. The carpet is available new, you can get it from ACC. The seat covers can be had from a member on here that is making them. Also you can have an auto Interior shop make em for you. My car is also from AZ so i know youll have a cracked dash. On ebay you can find dash caps, they snap over it and make it look like new without having to replace it.

    :Welcome: You'll probably be able to find your parts here or someone will know where to find them. Used to have a 69 Corsa. I wish I'd have kept it. They're like gold now!:)
