I too, am awaiting an order from AH Spares.  So far, very good to do business 
with, and prices aren't that bad either.

As per interiors, just went through a bit of a horror story I thought I'd 
share.  I ordered a red seat and panel kit from Moss for my Bugeye 
restoration.  I ordered the carpet set and "trunk carpet" set from VB.  Upon 
getting ready to install, discovered that the seats and panels from Moss did 
not match.  The "trunk carpet" set from VB is actually red Hardura, not 
carpet, and the "OEM" style carpet was nowhere near matching any of the 
above.  So, I had four different colors of red in the car.  Needless to say, 
the seat and panel kit went back to Moss, and they said they couldn't match 
the seats to the panels or vice versa.  The "OEM" carpet set from VB was not 
stitched completely around the top of the tunnel, so it too, went back.  I 
considered using the red Hardura trunk liner, but then opted to have my local 
auto upholsterer make up the whole works.  BTW, none of the reds shipped to 
me were anywhere near "Cherry Red", but were more of a maroon or burgundy 
shade.
