Pics of what I did this weekend

[Grizzly_Adams]

On Friday night I changed my front seats and today I put new upholstery / covers on my rear seats :)

The front seats & upholstery are compliments of Exmoor Trim and are called G4's (I ordered them at billing last year):

G'day all,

Yeah I'm starting to enjoy my luxury in my old age :angel: Would never have dreamed of having an auto or such flash seats when I was younger, but these days... figured I spent a large part of my life in my vehicle, might as well be comfortable whilst there :D

The auto is great to drive, she keeps the engine in her torque band the entire time :) When 4wd'ing it's great to be able to put your foot down and just go up a hill and going downhilll isn't too hard either with a little left-foot braking :)

Add cruise control and the auto makes towing long distances (for example when I went up to Cape York) a breeze. No strain, no fuss, engine doesn't work hard and EGT are relatively stable :D At the end of a long day driving I was still awake and alert, and fuel consumption for the trip was relatively level at 12.2ltr / 100km.

The console I got from Ashcroft transmissions in the UK, and let me tell you it would be / is a hell of a lot cheaper to get one made up locally :eek: However I wanted to keep the look as much as possible like it rolled off the factory with the auto. The console is the mold they used in the 50th ed NAS 90's which are the only Defender type vehicles that L.R. have produced with factory fitted auto's. Unfortunately it appears that the front seats in the NAS 90's are further back, as the console cubby hangs out over the space in the back by about 3 inches. I'm considering building in around it to make another little storage space.

As for the cost of the seats, well lets just say they weren't cheap :o At the time I bought them I was working in Europe and getting paid European wages, so I didn't worry about it. Over here it would be a different matter.

Speaking of luxuries, yes those little ball thingies you see on the front seats are for lumbar support :D I've now just gotta get the heating elements wired in and then they'll be heated seats as well :cool:

Luxury, pure luxury :D
