I asked a guy in Sydney what it would cost to re-upholster two Cobra fixed back sports seats and was told $500... EACH SEAT...

Considering I bought the two of them for $400 I am considering my options.

I am in the middle of installing a Newton Commercial trim set. Total 850 interior except front seats. It is a pain in the rear but I think it will look good finished. So if you can't get a good price on a trimmer, buy the trim and install it yourself. You just need glue, scissors, trim clips from Minispares and 1000 bulldog clips.

Two 1971 clubman seats with head rests, used BMW 318i leather which I supplied.

Collected them to-day $680

Nice job by a guy in Bright Vic

I got the newton interior in mine too.
I got someone else to install the hoodlining for me but did the rest myself.

I found the people at Newton to be very helpful in our email correspondence in figuring out what bits I needed.
