Here are pics of the front seat combo I just picked up from the upholsterer. The work has taken over two weeks and isn't finished yet because I underestimated the amount of gray cloth that was needed. Very silly of me because it needs to come from SMS and will take a while.

He had quite a hard job getting the vinyl around the seat frame (- not much stretch in it)and for a while it seemed I would have to forgo the vinyl and use the blue broadcloth. But he kept working on it and it looks great. The vinyl is original colour and looks very 'lively' in the sunlight. Whole job is as per original colours, cloth/vinyl and style. Expensive but what the heck!

I am pleased with the job that has been done. It is a local business and I was able to check progress while the work was being done. There were a few things to sort out and being available to discuss was very handy.

Now there is just the squab of the rear seat to be done, after the extra gray cloth has arrived from the States (hopefully in a few of weeks).
