5-600 is a bit hopeful I'm afraid. I paid $900 for full black leather interior (doors & trims) from an AUII XR, and I reckon that was a good price. Another member offered me $1100 for it before I'd even picked it up.

I am pretty sure they are Matt. I noticed a difference when i was looking at buying an XR8. My old man's Ghia has different leather on the seats from what i can tell.
If i ever do a conversion, i would probably look into buying a wreaked Ghia of some sort.

Agreed 100%, I think you picked yours up for a great price! There's just not enough smashed/neglected ones around yet to have such affordable parts prices.
