I'm thinking it's about a grand to get my seats re-upholstered. That's a very rough guess. And by the looks of this... I'm better off getting my existing ones re-done... http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll ... :IT&ih=001

They look a bit plain there dont they.. I'm sure they're a bit comfier than EF seats though :wink:
$750's not a bad price, and by the looks of the back seat it could be made to fit, the side bolsters look pretty mod-able.

True... But I'm trying my hardest to keep this as hassel free as possible...

I remember getting quoted a grand to get my seats re-upholstered and all the padding beefed up/replaced if need be. So I'm thinking that I'll just do that. If I can find the guys number...

Rang around today to get quotes on re-upholstering.... :shock:

$2500 should cover it... The bloke I used to get to re-upholster my gear has retired :(

I sure as hell am not spending $2500 on my interior!

So I'm thinking I'll order a set of these instead. They look the part... http://cgi.ebay.com.au/LEATHER-SEAT-COV ... dZViewItem

Well I've sent them an email and, depending on their answer, I'll order a set along with centre console lid, handbrake boot and enough navy leather to do my door trims... Speaking of door trims. As soon as I get this material you wanna give me a hand to fit it Ang? Or even better, do it for me? I'll talk to you about it later.

In the mean time... I all but finished the doors today. All I've got left to do is re-trim the material inserts, as I've said above, and touch up the paint in a few spots where the contact adhesive got away from me.

I re-trimmed the bottom sections of the front doors with black velour automotive carpet. Same as what I did my boot install with.

Here's pics...
