i would if i had the time if got the t25 resto taking up all my time. if you have a sewing machine (old singer ones are good) unpick the old seats to use as templates, all the material with thread and piping +p&p £70, that will do the two captains seats and enough left over to make new gear lever + handbrake boots. i will take pics of the process when i do the drivers seat.

Thats one sweet job - you've actually inspired me to have a go myself at my captains chairs (that and the fact that i've had a quote for a grand to do the captains seats and the rock and roll bed!).
