I am in the process of restoring a 70 Malibu. I decided on upholstry from PUI. Wherever you consider buying from find out who makes what.
I bought a PUI headliner, visor material, and front/rear covers from Ausley's. Still need the head rest covers. I did everything but the headliner.
Places that sell complete door panels use a plastic sill. Might want to consider unassembled, and use your sill, maybe farm out the work. Other than that, and new carpet, I think I am well under $500.00 right now.
Of course my dash & package tray was in good shape, as well as the kick panels.
Whatever you decide, I think recovering the seats, and putting in the carpet is doable yourself.
