I agree with the comments,Moss vs Heritage kits,Hertiage 's do look 
better.   I did a moss kit since at the time I did not know about 
Heritage,having the seats and pans done by a professional shop. 
I do disagree a little on the door panels,that they are not for the 
average guy to do.   If your wife is a quilter or you know someone who 
is and is willing to give a hand they are not too bad to do at all.    
When I did mine several years ago I cut new panels from fibre board  
using the old cardboard as a pattern.  My wife than went to JO  Anns 
fibre store,(a national chain) and purchased quilt batting and  
vinyl.    I cut the vinyl  to rough  shape and took it and the old 
leather to a shoe maker who put the stitching on following the  original 
pattern.   
The thing to be careful with is cut much more material than you expect 
to use.   Using 3Ms adhesive and lots of patient cutting and fitting it 
took us about a morning to do  each door. 
True,they are not leather, but for the money they look good if kept 
cleaned and polished.
