Hi Nas. Are these Leather or Leatherette and if Leather, is it all leather, ie back side and sides. Are you prepared to say the cost. I am currently having some retrimmed all in Leather and it i just want to compare the cost really

All real leather high grade. The back of the front seats are leather, none of that vinyl stuff in my car.

Recaros have had the seat foam repaired and shaped. Very minimal repair was required.

Retrim includes custom carpets in thick pile with leather piping trim around the edges and rear seats trimmed in two tone to match fronts with stitching and has a black middle panel.

Rear door cards, rear parcel shelf and boot carpet and gear stick gaiter also getting done and obviously the front n rear headrests.

I don't have a final price but will be around 1.2k, maybe (probably) a little more. this level of trim would cost me double anywhere else, obviously a lot cheaper if u use vinyl or less work.

The guy doing it has just finished the drummer from kiezer chief's camper van - he is awesome at what he does.

I want trophys this year.

Thats a fair price for the work. I am paying £500 for the 2 front seats

He quoted me that much for vinyl and rear seats included.

We couldn't find a colour match for the door cards and I thought sack it just do the lot. Will look better with the carpet.

He don't know it yet but he's chucking in some over mats for free lol.

bloody hell nas, you do realise its just a car at the end of the day?
i mean fair play if you have the cash to dispose of.... i dont blame you if you have.

kieser chiefs drummer, he obviously has cash to set fire to....

reality check.... thought you were buying a house an sh1t? wouldnt it be better spent elsewhere?

Yep, buying a house, but that needs paint and carpets only. no major costs.

I. know its just a car, it may seem like I've blown 2k on it but really I've spent much less after I sell my old part on.

im nearly finished. just interior, rims, and 2.8 engine left to do.

I'll tell u how much the build cost is when I see u next time its a lot lot lot less then u think

If you wanted you could by a brand new, 11 plate, Perodua Kelisa for a bit under £5K. Top speed 88mph! They didn't give a 0 to 60 time. In fact, the fastest thing about it will be the way it depreciates. I reckon investing in a 'one of a kind' e21 makes much more sense.

Aye, its this e21 or a 2 year old vectra diesel with low mileage.

More pictures needed and less waffle

My wheels are going to look awesome on this, just make sure they sit right .

Nas are you keeping those headrest covers?

LOL why? You want em?

i hope he isn't! lol.

Just read whole thread..wow that's commitment !!! Good work nas

Cheers dude for the props Bob.

check out my new interior! (ignore the brown door handles my new black ones havent arrived yet!)

Gorgeous looking door pockets Seriously though very nice, did you keep the original horse hair padding/stuff in the rear seats or use something else? Not that it matters, no one's sat in the back of mine since I've had it.I prefer the three spoke steering wheel you have, but that's personal choice too.
