Epic work, as always! I've looked into repairing upholstery and re-trimming so it's good to see someone making a good job of this. The liquid leather repair seems to have worked wonders and made me remember I had forgot to doing this on my seats!

Cheers gents, I've not quite finished with the seats, I'll give them a few weeks for the conditioner to do some good, then have a go at augmenting the compressed padding and shrinking the stretched bits of leather with a heat gun.

Just noticed that I've now also got adjustable lumbar support. 8-)

Wow! That's quite impressive bit of skill there bud - not everyone would tackle a small leather retrim by hand. Looks very well done bud. 8)
