If you get the right Recaro's they are simple to re-trim...i did them myself and in total, including buying the second hand seats it all came to less than £90
I think with that block Steve it's going to be a weekend drive i'm afraid,i would love to have it as a everyday motor but
as you know it comes with a price mate....$$$$$$$$$
I think at some point in the future id like to do a up grade to a more powerfull engine and more economical
whats your thoughts about this? or anybody else for that matter....
i've bought myself a LWB 280ge 1988 (f reg) silver with 94000 miles genuine..in great condition just a couple of tiny rust spots to sort out on the rear door..i'm very pleased!
I bet you are chief..they look the dog's nut's..i'd be happy as Larry with them, comfort too..
i'm picking my new G up next week so will come and visit with the biscuits if thats ok with you Steve
