After 18 months at an upholsterer who did nothing with my bits, I finally took them to a proper car trimmer and I'm happy to report the following going back together again... ![](https://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k163/bogbasic/15570027178500_zpsot67svlo.jpg) ![](https://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k163/bogbasic/15570027524621_zpstgbpokve.jpg) ... and as a result I can recommend Unique Auto Trimming, Bookham, Surrey. I guess 18 months isn't a long time in this restoration which has so far taken me 26 years.

One of the carpeted front seat brackets is back in place after much struggling. ![](http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k163/bogbasic/15571618149520_zpszgibrw8k.jpg)

Hello, yes, I'll dig out the supplier details - should have them tomorrow or sooner. Meanwhile, front chrome trims going in. ![](http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k163/bogbasic/15588791814590_zpsvaxcf0r1.jpg) ![](http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k163/bogbasic/15588792206421_zpsa4dyotbd.jpg) The gearbox cover back together. ![](http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k163/bogbasic/15588792474462_zps0ahxcwnc.jpg) ![](http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k163/bogbasic/15588792592583_zpsbg6llcuf.jpg) And not a single screw lost.

The carpet came from Coverdale, Kensington Luxury Wool and the colour is Wheat. I did order a carpet from JRW but when it came it was a bit too dark for my liking so I ordered the Coverdale Wheat one. I therefore have an unopened carpet which is a darker fawn sort of colour if anyone is interested although I was hoping to p/x it for other parts I need, if the supplier will take back a 2 year old carpet set!!
