Geez i hope it wouldnt cost that much!!! Stuff that, hmm i dont know what would be the best option now lol. I think i might just stick with plain old XR seats for now  get some quotes as i might be wrong, but i think i'd be pretty spot on the mark there! |

So what do you guys think i should do then? Or what would you do:
1- Keep the XR interior and just leave it like it is and spend the $$$ on other mods? 2- Continue looking for a Ghia interior and do something different regardless the reduced bolstering etc. 3- Keep the XR seats but redo it in leather (expensive choice) What would you do? I mean i can make my own decisions but im just after some positive feedback thats all 
Cheers

if ur determined to have leather, i'd probably look at getting the seats reupholstered. just think, any faimont interior that you find will be anywhere from 6 - 10 years old and you'll still pay a fair bit for it i'd imagine.
Not many fairmonts or ghias seem to appear at local wreckers, and even if they did, i'd imagine the interiors to be quite expensive. probably not much more expensive to get the interior reupholstered in brand new cow to your specification. but still, it'll be a fair bit of $$$'s all the same

Auto Image in Thomastown gave me some quick quotes on getting some of my interior reupholstered.
These guys do the DJR Falcon interior, and all of Herrods work, so they are well recommended. I reupholster my drivers seat, I was quoted roughly $200 to $250 for new leather and factory velour. And it didnt matter much to the price if it was all leather or not. The reason its so cheap is they can copy the pattern of the exisiting covers. If they had to create a new pattern from scratch, thats where the $$$ comes into it. Hence the reason why I would get some XR seats, and get new covers made for them. If I can provide them a premade patter, but say make this bit leather and this bit velour, then their job would be easy and the the end result to me is cheap. |

Oh... s**t... lol...
That explains why I couldnt find the ratchet. I was looking the other day, but assumed it was somewhere buried in my garage. As for the torx bit, I didnt notice that at all. Have to organise to mail them back at some stage.. I will need my T50 soon...

I went in a mates 12mth old XR6T ute on sunday and it had leather. It was much nicer leather than what we had in our previos 95 LTD. It doesn't slip at all

LTD interiors, that might be the one with electric front seats...
DF LTD have electric front seats driver and passenger. |
