shawshankkid 1 Posted April 23, 2007 Been up to bradford this morning to have a hole in my drivers seat sorted out. Pics below..... it's as new again now and well worth the 70 mile trip from Mansfield to have it fixed. Michael is a great bloke and nothing is to much bother. Took him about a hour to sew a new piece of fabric in and have it back in the car and charged me £45 which is great i think. I had the bolster cloth done a couple of years ago, that was a bit cheaper £20 as it requires no sewing work, don't worry if your bolster is kippered because he glues some new foam in place and covers it before the fabric goes on. Give him a ring if your not to far away and need similar work doing. I know he looks in on here from time to time as he loves corrado's. Michael Pinnock - 01274 533370.

Little cash jobs make the world go around.. 8) Exactly - a nice few quid earned between doing other things. what price ya lookin @ for a full retrim?wouldn't mind gettin the recaros done in cream leather 8) I seem to remember £1200ish from when someone asked a while back. Can't remember if that included door cards too, but I think it did. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
