My mate Cliff Griffiths from Aldridge Trimming (as seen on Car SOS recently) retrimmed his GT6 in leather a few years ago, I can remember him telling me the hides cost HIM over £300! Its cheaper to buy a car with the leather you want in it, take the seats out and weigh in the rest, thats what I did with my Cavalier, I bought a scrap Diplomat Cav off the bay for £85, drove it home from Stroud took the seats and a few other bits, (cylinder head, cam, doorcards, electric sunroof motor, alloy wheels etc) and weghed the rest in for £100! Thats what I call a result! Steve |

It's not the hides that cost the money it's the labour in stitching the seats, vinyl option still comes in at £350! Might buy a sewing machine. Unfortunately there was not a Dolomite Diplomat so that option is out. |

Tony, want me to get a quote from my chap? As I say, it was a few years ago, but I can't imagine it being that much! |

The icing on the cake for me, for the car to be on the front page of Dolly Mixture, thanks Steve for including it.

 Never made the front page in all the years I've been a member, got on the back page on the previous issue though.... always a bridesmaid, never a bride!

I've only made the inside pages! (Sob!) Grats to Tony on a stonking build though! Well deserved cover star! Steve |

Been a while but finally got some motivation together to fit my new steering wheel.  I find the original steering wheel rim a little thin, this one is more chunky like modern steering wheels, which I prefer. Not bad for £9 off ebay! Just need to fit the quick rack I purchased about 4 months ago now! |

There is a small white LED embedded into the main beam.
