Hi,
I was just wondering if anyone knows a good Upholsterer in Vic. I need to get my front and rear seats redone. Also, does anyone know the difference between the quality of the rubbers mats now being sold on eBay and the ones produced in Avondale Heights by Obsolete Rubber Mats?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Supertrim are very good - will give you an authentic looking seat - not sure if they do the correct late 59 embossing - you can get this done by Stinky (forum name) in SA
I think the ebay mats are the same mat as obsolete - I've never heard of anyone else doing repro mats.

Ken, are there any good links with the 59 embossing on here and pics of riff red and black interiors on here? I am not being lazy, having trouble finding good examples with some level of detail.

Ken would undoubtedly know of more, but you could start by taking a look at Stinky's website (google StreetTrim - sorry; dont know how to do the link thingy  ); I recall pics on there (under 'finished work') of red and black '59 seats with the correct embossing. hope this helps cheers, jack |

Thanks for all your help. I have ordered the mats, now I just have to sort out the interior. At least I have a few good places to start. Once I sort this out the car is nearly completed.

Whatever seats you put in Not sure really, I just make them to suit the customer's requirements. |

 so this is mine, this is a june 58 car with this seat. this is the 59 seat right? Cos it was a taxi, do u think that it was replaced and they used a replacement at a later date. do uze guys think that any replacements afterwards, say during the 60's and 70's would have been all the same as these or could you buy both early and later models when replacing your seats back then? |

Based on your cars body number, the taxi is a Dec 59 vehicle which would fit with the black engine bay and the seats. Hence the engine you currently have is wrong. Perhaps not surprising for a taxi, its probably the eighth or ninth  Ken |

Hey there Stinky, Did you do the seats yourself or out sourced them  ? if you did them yourself, than you have done an amazing job and very skilled at your trade and I'm sure many are happy you stepped out and started up "Street Trim" full time...keep up the great quality and skills. Anyone would be happy with that quality Very nice, neat and detailed... "Have a Great ( FE ) Holden Day !!!"  FE 4 ME |

Follow the link http://www.rarespares.net.au/rarespares/ProductPage.aspx?product=ST1000Vic & NSW clubs had these for an introductory cheaper price other option is to fix yours up by laying fibreglass inside them or you could chase up a set of FB EK sides, these are metal but require a little work to the seat as they finish lower down from the top of the seat and some of the fastening tags will need re working Cheers, Gary |

FE for me, he does a good job hey. Im going to get him to do some s&%t for me later. The missus wants to give the seats a go, but its a bit tricky and u need the right gear. Not like a lounge chair.
57, good question, I have been thinking same, but im nowhere near it. But good question. They seem to go brittle and crumble real easy hey. It would be a nice touch to chrome up with some of that stuff.

Are the Rares ones plastic ? I suppose you paint them to suit.

Great work stinky, clearly it was right to take your skills full time to the public...ive looked over your threads since i 1st joined here and looked through your projects and skilled work, i'm glad you love Holdens, we need this passion and skills to make the best look the best Stinky do you have a template ( or anyone else ) for the rear back board between the back seat and boot i could get hold of ( paper ) ? ... as i live in QLD im sure a template would be the easier way to go..i can than cut it out of board that sure would help anyway you sure do great work Stinky "Have A Great Holden ( FE ) Day !!!"
