Remember: if your Holden's not leaking oil, it doesn't have any.

Pretty sure there was a FX pair and a FC pair in there. Photo seems to be missing one though. I'll have to check for it when I get home.

Haha... reminds me of Fred Flintstone with his legs poking through the floor.  Great car, mate. Looks worse than mine but all fixable.  Have fun with it. Yabba dabba doo!

Cheers,

John

Love the green interior lowlife. It has always intrigued me that these cars came out with plastic seat base trims when they went to metal for the FBs. The seats are very similar. I don’t know but I imagine the plastic would be pretty scarce these days. I’m not suggesting you consider sullying your lovely FC with grubby old FB EK stuff of course.

The plastic FC style trims are available from Rare Spares but they are expensive. The metal seat trims can be fitted but they finish a little lower up the seat back. If you decide to use metal seat trims it's a good idea to give your upholsterer a set before the seat covers are made. If you go this way I have a pair of metal sides complete with good SS moulds. I'm after a pair of FC moulds .......

I was hoping my seat trims were going to be salvageable. The passenger side is good, just needs a clean up. Drivers side is split right through both pieces.

Think this floor might be taking up my attention for a while before I address the seats though.

Hey Lowlife,

Have you considered "plastic welding" on the seat trims?  I don't know if it'll work on these trims but not much to lose by trying.  It's how they repair the plastic bumpers and other bits on newer cars these days. Try "Google" or "Youtube", there's heaps of info. about it. Once the repair's done, you sand it back, use a plastic primer and paint away.

Cheers,

John

Hi John, I've thought about it, don't know how viable it is, will have to research it a bit more before I dump money on rares replacements.

I have a set of used Fibreglass Seat Trim Moulds, I would like to sell $50.00 plus freight.
