Reupholster R32 Gtr Seat..any Contacts?

[Nav2k]

posted this on ns.com too but might have a better chance here..

Hi guys,

Does anyone have any contacts for a re-upholsterer ?

Have this one passenger side r32 gtr seat that doesn't match a newly re-upholstered drivers side...(it's stock blue where the new one is black).

plus it has a mark or two..if its cheap then i'd like it re-upholstered to match the black.

Anyone got a rough estimate on what I'm looking at? don't really want to pay more than $250 for it..

Failing that...anyone with just a single 32 gtr drivers seat in stock blue but great condition want to swap for this black one in excellent condition ?

rail for rail as well...i haven't modded it to fit a silvia series...if u do have sil series then u can keep ur rails.

ps: please do not say leatherrette or whatever those other seat covers are.

i reckon you'll be hard pressed to get it done less than $250 - it will need to go to the same trimmer that did the drivers seat to match up...

i know this is not a whole world of help but there is a place in Moorabbin just near cochranes road.. in one of those back streets that does this kind of work..

Seen some of this stuff and they know what they are doing but not cheap...

As Ronin said u will be hard pressed for something under $250 unless u get seat covers.

Good Luck

So have some old Recaros LS seats that I want to get re-trimmed. Doesnt have to be show car, just neat and tidy using cloth to make some old Supra Recaros with tears like this

To be trimmed i materials/colours similar to this..

good upholsterer in Ringwood. Bill Mayne's motor trimming.

does a number of classic cars and has helped me out too.

Will give him a try along to see how he goes price wise compared to a few others I have called. Seems better value to just buy another mroe expensive pair of seats closer to the colours I need

What rough pricing were you getting Roy? Am curious as I'm wanting to do mine in the near future too.

Give Mick @ Micolour a call Bris - The guy with the business in the back half of his shop is a motor trimmer, his name escapes me right now but the work I've seem him do is excellent and could be an option

$300-400 per seat is ball park

yeah it wont be cheap per seat, given materials and labour but worth it for something as integral/key as the main seats.

glenn is the guy in the back, he's pretty good too =) he fixed up my inner door trim where the leather had shrunk
