    If that's the one in August it may be cutting things a little fine. I don't get my front bar back from the chromers for another 2 weeks and then we are going to Port Macquarie for a few days.

    Ive done the same thing with my van. I got some chamois seats a while ago and theyre like yours with the cloth insert still in the kingswood design. When I got offered them I thought about it for a 6 seconds and said yep righto. Originals nice but i always hated those vinyl seats and i reckon the cloth in the same design is a great compromise. ya gotta remember its nice to have your car look factory but its also nice to be practicle if youre gunna enjoy driving it!

    my 2 cents...

    Van looks absolutely fantastic by the way! Good work.
