Replacement Volvo 460 seats alongside some interior trim

I have been working on a 460 I found for virtually nothing. While the body and engine has faired well despite being abandoned on a field for a fair few years (unknown amount of years) the interior really has not.

The 850 has been kept in storage for about 15 years by th...
