This is awesome. Looking better than new.
Wonder what the previous owner would say if he sees it now.
Well done.

That looks fantastic. Where did you get the upholstery material?

It was quite a search. My Upholsterer eventually found it.
The textures and consistencies of the run of the mill vinyl's we have here in SA are not correct. I gave my upholsterer an original sample and said not to come back until he found the correct colour and textured vinyl. I think the company was in PE, but I will ask him.

Thanks Sean. I've been looking for correctly textured vinyl for some time.
