Seats trimmed. Wheels waiting for car.

Bax Global that vintage uses tend to be on the expensive side, the quote you get from Vintage is about half of the total cost of the freight, you get stung with the rest of the charges when the goods land here.

Fellas,

Unfortunately, when I brought the rims. our $ was on the high end of 70 cents. No Stephen.. That price was just the rims, adaptors freight and GST. No tires, but I made up for it with a killing recently when I cashed in a stack of Aussie Dollars for 94 cents US.

What goes around, comes around.

Even at $3K they are a good buy. I paid $2600 for my rims and another $1200 for the adaptors from local supliers.

I like the look of your seats Baz. So much so I went and bought a pair of MX5 buckets on Saturday. What did the trimmer charge to re cover them in leather?

Cheers

Mike,

I'll answer your thread before I crash. I'm just about stuffed at the moment. It's 10.30pm in Sydney and haven't been home long after taking the Grand Kids to the Royal Easter Show for their first expereince. We left at 6am this morning so it's been a huge day.

Regardless of the stress that this has placed on my ageing body, we managed to have a great day, but unfortunately, they didn't have any Cobras. Daytona's or 40's on display. What a bummer.

They only had pumpkins, apples, horses and cows with the occasional pluto pup and some stupid rides. Kids were paying $6 for a couple of minutes in these things.

What would they pay for the thrill of sitting in Cobra, then have that horsepower released as they were slammed back towards the rear bumper. The revs build and they rocket towards Worp 10 factor x 6 G Force. I'll have to stop romanticising now as I'm getting real excited and that's no good for my ageing heart valves.

Back to the subject:- Comon Baz. Snap out of it. - The trimmer charged me $AU1,300 to do the seats, dash and gear selector. He's still got the door trims / pockets, panel behind the seats and then the consul to do in leather. After that, he has to do the Wilton Carpet in the foot boxes and boot.

I'll be glad when he's finished. So will the Finance Advisor.

Tomorrow morning, which is almost here, I'm off to work on my side pipes. Wait until you see these baby's. Oh Boy. Sydney Symphony eat your heart out.

This will probably be the most expensive replica ever build. I'm up to about
65K & I'm only half way there. Someone please give me a hanky, .

Baz.

Baz.

Thanks Baz. That sounds pretty reasonable for a quality job.

I figure I'll get the seats covered, dash trimmed and a gear stick boot made in matching red leather. The door trims will probably be engine turned aluminium with a matching red leather pocket on them. Just got to fine a good local trimmer to do the job.

My wife and I went to the Royal Melbourne show a couple of years back. What a rip off. Huge lines of people to get in and then there was bugger all to se inside. Not looking forward to the day when my daughter is desperate to go and see the show.

Cheers

I bought my Vintage wheels back when the dollar was around the .70c region. I think all up it was just over $3000 - I got stung with extra fees and charges at this end, thanx BAX - and the best money I ever spent on the car I reckon.

I haven't seen anything that's made in Australia even come close to the quality and finish of the these Vintage Wheels!!!

Plums,

You won't get any argument from me on that front. I just love my wheels and yours look just as great.
