Well finally got the seats back from the upholsterers and got some photos of the seats in the car. So they have gone from this.

To this, its taken some time

To be honest I didn't actualy see the material before they were done, the upholsterer said he would use the best match to the original that he had in stock. I'm not to sure about them the passenger side is more comfortable than the drivers so I might change them over on the runners meaning the controls are on the wrong side but i can live with that. As for the Quality of the job its not the best I've seen but you don't get the best steak for beefburger money, not sure how long they'll last but there in.

Had to take some photos of the car and as the sun had come out it was the ideal opportunity. Thought I would share them on here too.

Thanks Guys for the comments. Oh my god, MOT station got the car wet while they waited for a track control end to arrive, that was the advisory on last years MOT. Well that's all it took to get it through the test this year and no advisories this time :shake . Back safe in the garage now. :boogie
