Good afternoon before i advertise these seats on Ebay i thought i would put them here , they are a pair of Cobra Cub seats bought brand new and the covered front and back in Leather by Rich at Cheshire Car Trim , probably only used for about 50 mile , guess what the other half does not like them so they have to go , complete with the runners , main selling points are they are the narrowest seats i could find! are suitable where Headrests are reqd for MOT , minimal use , £550.00 for the pair plus carriage .

Geoff - A belated congratulations on your paint.

That is a great colour choice and the car looks amazing.

Enjoy, Paul.

Any updates Geoff?
I’m guessing you have been busy tweaking things to make your Z3GT even better!

Morning all , work carried out recently has been to have a head-lining fitted by Rick at Cheshire Car Trim , this has covered the roof and around the rear side windows and also around the rear screen (down to top of seat height) . I have just completed the rear parcel shelf and covered it i the same carpet (Green) as will cover the floor . The seats that i had made (see previous post) have know been sold , i bought a pair of old MGB headrest type seats stripped them down cleaned the frames and repainted them then fitted new rubber webbing , bought new (hump type foams) and had Classic Car Seats nr Stafford to supply and fit new leather covers , they did a great job and i am really pleased with the look and the comfort , will take photos soon . PS my seats were all black no coloured piping .

Wow! You make me feel ashamed at how little I’ve completed on my old 911 by comparison!
Sounds like a real labour of love!

Evening couple of car interior photos as promised , its a much nicer car to drive (quieter) with the interior completed , probably most pleased with the centre console which i made up out of 9mm ply covered with scrim then leather , the first time i have worked with leather , the console is wider than ones i have made previously but this one merges better with the Z3 glove box .The radio is for "show" its non functioning there isn`t the depth where i wanted it , basically i cut the rear half of the radio off! The chrome radio grill hinges down on small piano type hinges to reveal the standard Z3 heater controls , Geoff .

Well done!

I love the period speaker grille and the dummy Motorola wireless. The whole effect looks really convincingly 1960's, which is quite an achievement on a Z3 interior.

Didnt project binky have the same problem? I believe they approached a stereo manufacturer (mighta been Alpine, cant remember) who were quite happy to make them a separate faceplate, which un-clips like a normal stereo, but had the wires extended to allow the main bulk of the unit to be mounted elsewhere, so got tucked under the seat, where they could still put CDs into it. I dont think it was particularly expensive either.
