Have you actually got the old carpet set, cus that could be sent over reasonably cheaply I'd have thought.
I can then get a new set made up for you in any colour you like like. cloud9:

Need an old set to act as template though.
Can get the seats recovered in leather or vinyl too.

You got car interior specialist trimmers out there already though p'raps? rubschin:

I've found a mint Clubman estate at one of the grages I do werk for. cloud9:

1 owner, 20k from new. Donated to the main stealer from whence it originally came apparently
I say 'mint', cus looking at it outside and in, it does look absolutely stunning, albeit it being finished in dull as ditch water beige. ::)
It does need welding doing underneath though apparently, but I'm going to suggest that if they can get it all welded up where required, get it mot'd, then I'll take it 'round the classic car shows for them on their behalf, with some advertising written on it for them, especially for their bodyshop.

Boss is a prickly old minge bag though however, so it'll be a great test of my negotiational and diplomatic skills.

Poor thing has just been sitting in a dark corner of the werkshop covered in dust with flat tyres for over 4 years now. cry:
It needs some luuuuuuurve that I can give it. cloud9:

I'll also have to negotiate them storing it too, as I've now run out of room on the Growler estate. ::)

I've chucked the carpets and mats - they were ghastly...  noooo:

Apparently there are people here that can do all the seats and stuff... I'll find out...
