Thanks for the nice comments fellas!

When I rebuilt the drivers seat, I decided to leave the most worn right hand lower bolster cover on until it wears right out. I do have a better condition one to put on after the current one is truly stuffed. (well the stuffing hanging out LOL).

I did 35000+ks last year, so the interior will never look mint. It gets used to much!

Cheers
BenJ

Not really. The Recaro style Boxcar seats are considered by many to be the best factory seats around for support and comfort. I am a big chap, and these seats are really great. They hold me in place in the twisty bits, and are quite supportive over a long haul.

Cheers
BenJ

Hey All.

The stereo will get an upgrade at some point too, but I am not in a hurry for that. I guess we will see what else pops up over time at the right price.

Hope you are all well.

Cheers
BenJ


On that subject I picked up a Kenwood unit with front aux input from Supercheap for $88! can't complain about that! :D

Cool BenJ. I didn't realize you had another set of covers for the seat! I do remember reading about you pulling the seat apart to fix the foam in it.

I too prefer the eb-ed recaro sytle seat over the later model seats. They do really hold you in well when your getting up it, as you do sometimes when driving a 5spd falcon. :cool: :mrgreen:

Cheers

I have a couple of odds and ends in motion.

LPG Injection.

Finish the Body Kit.

Looking around for a new Sports Steering Wheel.

Secret Project that has something to do with the white EF Wag.

Paint various panels until the car is done.

New hood lining.

Stereo Upgrade.



Nothing major.

Cheers
BenJ

Sounds like that is going to keep you outta trouble for a long while there BenJ, which isn't such a bad thing.... Can't wait to see it all unfold. This thread & your mods are the stuff of Legends!

Cheers
