When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.

Well its been 2 years and 2 months and finally I have all of my trim so I can soon make a start on getting it redone. Its been such a long drawn out drama, I wont be doing it again through this mob. I'm still yet to see how the material will hold out on the seats for durability as I know 2 others are having problems with theirs. Fingers crossed. I have however made some progress with a trimmer here in Gippsland that can help out with future work.
Anyway I'm looking forward to getting my seat colours right as my bolsters are coded Chianti Red and not Stardust Grey as fitted. Thanks to Rusty for helping out with temporary seats and door trims that saved the day for our wedding although I wasn't expecting temporary to be over 2 years! :wtf:
It will be tentative process as I want to attack the door alignment as I'm not happy with them. Problem though is I know I've run out of adjustment on some doors so I will have some mods to do..............I know it'll end up being a bastard of a job.

Feeling little "special" today. She got voted best FB/EK on the "Holden Cars & Machinery with Grey Motors" facebook page. She now is proudly pinned on the header page for a month. Chuffed and humbled to say the least.
