Series 80 Landcruiser seat

[Terminator]

Just call me "Mr Colourblind" or even "Mr F**kwit" as SWMBO recently remarked. I picked up the seat tonight and it's BROWN. It looked blue/grey on my screen and I didn't even think to ask the seller the colour. I should have queried your original comment Tony that it was the "wrong colour but it's better than nothing"
.....it'll be appearing again soon on Ebay unless someone would like it to replace their "comfort seat" .......... far cheaper than a Torino

Ok I will Mr F...wit...guess that means I am safe as you asked for a blue seat and no one came up with one yet!!!!

Mr Magoo, if you're looking to restore the driver seat as well, why not just have both re-built and re-upholstered to suit purpose? Might be cheaper/easier than chasing your tail for the perfect second-hand unit...

.........exactly what I was thinking John. How are you at upholstery?

...........and didn't Scrooge McBoyer sound delighted :p

.........exactly what I was thinking John. How are you at upholstery?

Actually, I did upholster my car back in 2002 when living in Townsville... totally ruined my wife's general purpose sewing machine

Too much work, I won't do it again. I'm looking at splashing out on leather for the current resto...

Peter,

Seat covers!!!

[MrUpwey]

New (brown) passenger seat and centre console fitted this weekend. Took your advice and purchased good set of Sheepskin covers. Much more comfortable than the 1 1/2 bench fitted as standard on the base model Series 80. Drivers seat also re-built (partially) be Dave Hoskings (356 upholstery fame)

Total cost - passenger seat $50 (perfect condition) , Drivers seat restore $115), Console ($70), Sheepskins covers $380.

Looks great, and no one will know or care.

That looks sweet Peter, glad it all worked out for you.
