Nice job!!! How did you do it ? Tuscan seats from a wrecker for the front? How about the back ?

Very Brave & Very Impressive!

Did you have to change much to mount the front seats properly?

If you dont mind me asking how much did it cost for the re-trim and how much for the Tuscan seats?

[R8nan]

Hugh. Yes those were my seats on ebay which are now sold and have nearly covered the cost of buying the Tuscan ones. It took a few months to get the seats from the breakers and just being persistant. The fronts came from one breaker and the back from the other well known TVR breaker.
The trim was done including the steering wheel by K R J Trimmers who I could recommend very highly. All in deducting the price of the seats I sold it has cost £1200 and it took me about 20 hours to remove the old seats and the fit the new ones, the back ones took a lot of time the fronts are just a straight swap the only thing was removing the old nuts, I have now replaced them with stainless steel nuts and bolts with allen screw heads which makes it easier to tighten. I am well pleased with the end result and the cost not to bad considering TVR were looking £1350+VAT for each front seat.

So how was the back done? Did you just use Tuscan fronts for the rear?

[R8nan]

The rear seats came out of a Cerbera. It is all made up with small sections. One section is the base two side sections which are just foam covered with leather, one small cushion for the base of the back, more foam covered leather for the top section of the back and then the half moon shape for the headreast which is a solid section which bolts into place.
