I've been thinking ahead about the interior (yeah I know the welding isn't even done yet). The easy solution would be to get a complete Exmoor trim package. This, however, does not seem to be so straight forward. I could be wrong but not all of their stuff seems to be available "off the peg" in Elephant Grey.
Still I had a quick look through their web pages and made a nice (anal) little spreadsheet
Not all of the stuff I want seems to be available
Not all of the stuff I want seems to be in Elephant Grey
They do do a re-do your original bespoke service but I'm guessing that's going to be 2 grand and upwards. (No haven't rung them up - I didn't give them a chance - I'm hoping to get this done for a lot less dosh - which means DIY)
########
So I thought - "I can sow - perhaps it is time to learn how to sew"?
I've done a really crude quick measure of the existing seats and came up with a number (how much fabric I will probably need)
'Cos I've not done this kind of thing before I've bought shed loads of fabric. Manged to source this stuff =>
I reckon it is about as close as people say the Exmoor trim version is (might even be from the same supplier) - and I didn't even have to chase this fabric down via people who supply similar stuff for BMW 2002 boot spaces!
This is a bit of a sticking your neck out solution. The fabric isn't mega cheap. I've never done this kind of thing before. Could be an epic fail. Still there's a friendly Egyptian chap in town who does clothing repairs if all else fails...
(As always - to be continued - and this time it won't even be started until the shorter days and the bad weather kicks in)

EDIT:
I forgot to say
1) Costs in the first spread sheet are costs I saw on the internet about a week ago - they will probably change
2) Feel free to use my measured estimates of the fabric needed but remember you'll probably make the same mistake(s) as me - so on your own head be it!
