My take on this topic is...

"If it ain't broke, don't fix it!"

We have tried to keep everything that is built-in and in good repair "stock" but had fun with the soft-goods (upholstery, draperies, flooring) that needed replacing anyway. The only exception is with the removed-gaucho-soon-to-be-dinette...we will be modeling it after one typical of the era.

If you want to see our progress, check out our webpage @ www.insideout-design.net/maxwell

Now on the otherhand, if the interior is modified beyond recognition by a previous owner or has alot of damage or missing pieces...I would wipe it out & start over with a clean slate & have fun! Anything goes!

Bottom line, do whatever you want...especially if you are planning on keeping it. If your intention is for resale value, think twice before altering existing components in good repair & working order in such a manner that could be to personal for the next owner...just my $.02
