Hello everybody!

I hope this message finds everybody safe, well and healthy!

I've been giving my 1997 GTS some much needed TLC recently and hopefully it will go for paint and some interior work in the not too distant future, but I have a couple of questions.

Firstly it seems the bodyshop I was planning on using is going to let me down, so does anybody know of a good one, reasonable on price and within the north west?

Secondly, has anybody done any interior modifications or upgrades that are actually nice and tasteful rather than some of the awful things I've seen on Google etc? The dash is really disappointing so the trimmer has recommended alcantara, but I think I'm swaying more to a leather type vinyl in black, just to give a nicer feel, but subtle. I've thought about snake print for the handbrake and gear stick gators, but again possibly just in black so it's very subtle. I'd love to redo the centre console area with a new headunit which includes built in sat nav, but I'm not sure that this would work with the car as it might be too much modern technology and detract from the pure driving experience of the older cars.

Any thoughts, pictures, advice or anything that you may have would be highly appreciated.

Thank you and take care!
