Despite him being local I've never used him, I have seen bits of his work and it did look good.
I'm not entirely sure he's still going though?

Think you're right mate.
I wondered as you're local if you had heard anything.
Email address is not valid anymore.
I spoke with a guy a couple of months ago who is restoring a Lancia that was an unfinished project and the seats were done by him, but wasn't sure how long ago.
Cheers

I think I did contact him about 5 years ago about doing some seats and felt he was quite expensive - however that be because I wanted some cheap seats tidying up and he wanted to do a proper job!
But after that I remember his 'works van' being up for sale, hence why I thought he may have finished.

I literally lived about 3 streets away, but can't for the life of me remember his name now :oops:

Cheers
I was initially thinking of changing the fronts for Newton Commercial Suffolk Seats, they have not been the easiest to deal with far to many emails from me and still haven't got the answers to my questions. Also not sure if they will look right.
I'm thinking a refurbishment of the front might be the easiest answer.
