Funny thing about restoring almost any car is that the interior can often cost as much as putting in an engine or transmission. All convertibles in U.S. were leather. Replacing leather with new is around $2000 with you doing all the labor. You can shop around for used, but supply is drying up...literally and figuratively. I called almost all the dismantlers for my '93 and they had virtually no leather in stock. Front seats can be gotten from almost any model, but the back seat is convertible specific as are the carpets. If you go with tan, though, it seems to be easier to find...unlike Buffalo Grey, Dove Grey, or Burgundy.
Good luck
