I like the look of your seats Baz. So much so I went and bought a pair of MX5 buckets on Saturday. What did the trimmer charge to re cover them in leather?

Mike,
I'll answer your thread before I crash. I'm just about stuffed at the moment. It's 10.30pm in Sydney and haven't been home long after taking the Grand Kids to the Royal Easter Show for their first expereince. We left at 6am this morning so it's been a huge day.
Regardless of the stress that this has placed on my ageing body, we managed to have a great day, but unfortunately, they didn't have any Cobras. Daytona's or 40's on display. What a bummer.
They only had pumpkins, apples, horses and cows with the occasional pluto pup and some stupid rides. Kids were paying $6 for a couple of minutes in these things.
What would they pay for the thrill of sitting in Cobra, then have that horsepower released as they were slammed back towards the rear bumper. The revs build and they rocket towards Worp 10 factor x 6 G Force. I'll have to stop romanticising now as I'm getting real excited and that's no good for my ageing heart valves.
Back to the subject:- Comon Baz. Snap out of it. - The trimmer charged me $AU1,300 to do the seats, dash and gear selector. He's still got the door trims / pockets, panel behind the seats and then the consul to do in leather. After that, he has to do the Wilton Carpet in the foot boxes and boot.
I'll be glad when he's finished. So will the Finance Advisor.
Tomorrow morning, which is almost here, I'm off to work on my side pipes. Wait until you see these baby's. Oh Boy. Sydney Symphony eat your heart out.
This will probably be the most expensive replica ever build. I'm up to about
65K & I'm only half way there. Someone please give me a hanky, .
Baz.
