interesting. any idea on price?

actually, i'm not really looking for leather. i'm looking for function and only for the bottoms. those look super nice....too nice for this vehicle for sure. but a good resource nonetheless.

Guessing your truck is as that water in yur pic tells tales.
Unfortunately I'm only there part time. The truck is in the Caribbean full time. My family has a place there and we shipped this nearly new Discovery down there many years ago. It's perfect vehicle for the location. A couple years ago we had a near miss by a tropical storm and it rained for three days straight. The streets were flooded with many roads closed for almost a week. The Discovery was a life saver allowing us to go out for basic necessities while other cars were getting stuck in deep water. Drove through water up to the hood several times no problem. The truck is a beast!

Savannah Buzz is not the only one waiting/hoping for an invite.

Savannah, you got a boat that would be good for the trip?

Years ago, I had a 280ZX that had the velour seats in it. After about ten years in the Florida sun, they were shredded. The Z had about 250,000 miles on it but was still running even though the floorboard was rotting thru in the rear.

I took heavy Naugahyde and industrial strength glue and recovered the seat bottoms. Used a large piece and tucked the corners tightly. They did pretty good until I traded the 280Z for a newer Volvo24DL.
