Thanks! They looked pretty nasty with the vinyl all torn up and they likes to crack, the newer SC's trim is made of plastic so it doesn't have that issue. If you need parts, better snap them up quick. Almost all of the interior pieces have been discontinued and only limited stock is available.

So yeah... It's been a long while. The car is pretty much done and the interior is back together, still looking for a reputable place to redo the leather on the steering wheel, shifter, and redo the wood trim.
A few recent iPhone shot's of the SC400:

And the interior almost complete:

Man, that's a level of dedication that few have with any car, much less 2 that are largely overlooked. The results are impressive to say the least.
Wow, that's a hard blow. I'm glad that everyone is ok, but definitely offer my condolences on the loss of your childhood home. You definitely seem nostslgic(in a positive way), so I can't imagine the magnitude of the loss. I hope that the insurance company properly took care of your Mom.

Losing the house was hard, even more so on my mother, but insurance has taken care of it and it's in the process of being rebuilt. Sure makes you realize how quickly you can loose everything. Fortunately, I took all the family videos to my house a few weeks prior after my mother had been asking about getting them digitized and we got lucky that about half of the family photos were salvageable, other than that we really took almost nothing out of the house.
Thanks! Tell me about it, I just set a monthly parts budget and purchase a little at a time. It's been a slow project, but I thoroughly enjoy having an SC400 that's 20 years old that looks like the day it rolled off the line.
