Those prices are ridiculous. They'd be charging you ~$200 per hour labour! When I get some spare cash I'll buy a couple of industrial sewing machines and offer my services to you guys at an honest price. I'm actually a fully qualified leather trim machinist with over 2 years experience making (full) car interiors. That was a about 4 years ago but it wouldn't take me long to get back into it.

i thought the dude who bought it was an absolute knobsack for trying to get 17k for it with no turbo or nitrous, now the dads trying to sell it for 25,000........ absolute wankers

yes, for offers over $25,000 LOL.
anyhow, back on topic, let me know what Brian quotes you, really gotta get up to Adelaide and catch up with a heap of people, but time and money sucks at the moment.

I saw Brian today - top bloke, very helpful but also straight up front about his field of specialty which resides in old skool stuff. We talked over some ideas but not really on the same page as far as what I'm hoping to achieve. He estimates around 3500 for seats, wheel, gear knob and maybe door trims....one more to try in Gawler before I start making my decision...hopefully the best combination of quality, style and price...
Thanks for all the input...I'll keep you posted :)
