Hi toolsplus, I sleep in the back of my truck occasionally and do exactly the same, never had a problem.

Hi Jacob, thank you, absolutely right, SIPS, as you don't care about anybody hitting you side on as they will come off worse. Yeah, I know we shouldn't and don't drive like this. Just a little side note, my son at the age of 20, scraped his Polo 1.1 and bought Volvo 480 ES (2 litre) same age...

It's great that there are some people still enjoy driving, and drive depending on their desire or need. I'm lucky, in that have an early Ducati Monster, sounds and looks great, doesn't always work (usually when it's raining which is great as I hate biking in rain). Also have a 78 Datsun 260Z (...

Hi there, Have you thought of looking at Lexus seats? Being essentially a Toyota they may well fit directly? My previous 2 cars were GS range, seats extremely comfortable, and on the 2nd generation had air cooled functionality as well as various lumber support adjustments, might be worth a visit...

Bok, hvala. Morat ćete se obratiti klinici za namještaj za proizvode, ako imate bilo kakvih problema, javite mi, i vidjet ću što mogu učiniti. https://www.furnitureclinic.co.uk/ Tom

Thank you. Now I know what I'm doing I'll get a more accurate timing. The next seat has a nasty tare, about 7" long, so I plan to give an estimate on each part of the process. As for taking time, I prefer to do this than watch "I'm a celebrity ferret catcher in Outer Mongolia" .

Thanks Higgy, I didn't want a brand new look, so kept some of the shallow creases. The rips are a pain in the arse, there the ones that take time, need to cut out the "fluffy" edges which leaves a little gap which needs filler. In essence, if you've done body work, you can refurbish leather.

What I'll do is update the post as I refurbish the other seats, hopefully getting quicker, and an update in a year as to the state of the seats.

Hi Dave, From what I understand, you need to prep the leather, that includes removing the dirt and grim, and not just colour over. In addition, I wanted to fill in some of the deeper creases and had some minor rips that needed filling. Previous time I did this (just remembered), I did the wipe...

Hi Chris, Yes you can change the colour, easier to go from light to dark, but if you want to go dark to light you would probably have to strip back the original colour. I sent the headrest cover to Furniture Clinic so they could do an exact colour match.

The seats on my 80 are looking very tired and in need of some TLC, so the time has come to do some leather seat restoration, my first attempt. Apologies, but I never took pictures of the seat before (I will with the others), but the pictures shows the restored seat next to the unrestored (the...

Previous owner fitted arches, he bought them from, https://www.alibaba.com/ I can post some photos if you want.

Hi, thank you for the offer, would love to come along and watch, help etc. I'll dig out the thermals.

I have no experience on Land Cruisers, but for my sons 1971 MGB, we bought from Bell a complete stainless steel system including 3 into 2 into 1 manifold for £120 3 years ago. They do fabricate, they were going to do a system for my 260Z, and did a complete system for a friends Cresta. Maybe...

Hi there, apologies no pics (forgot camera and phone). I did glimpse a land cruiser from afar, think it was a J60. Annoyed that we never got an invite, when there was a Toyota Privea, Corolla's (7-8 years old) and a few Toyota Alphards Tried to find out what the selection criteria was, but...

Boot sales, I have managed not to go to one in a few years. Both venues are going to be cold & windy.

Hi there, not heard anything about my application, mean't to have phoned. I'm still going, planning on getting there for 8am.

Hi there, not heard anything, I was waiting for the Revival to finish.

Hi Clive, thank you. Can make my mind up, all good views.

Hi there, thank you for the info. Interesting look, can't make my mind up now, so thank you, heh heh. I was going to put some spots on, I have some rally lamps from when I used to work at Hella, with 100w bulbs! So confused now.

Just thought I would put a post up, I'm going to buy a new pair of front indicators (clear) from Australia, estimated cost £35 plus p&p and any import tax. Anybody else interested before I place the order? https://www.the4wdshed.com/

Happy to meet early (usually starts at 8:00am from memory), and help if we have a "stand" or just drive in together so we can park up together, and show off the cruisers. What is a pack of cruisers called?

Just registered as well, lets see if It gets approved.

Agreed, a sad day when we loose an iconic family member. Thoughts with family and their friends. RiP

Wasn't aware there was a Japanese/Sushi day last year. Took my 260Z a few years ago. Let me know if you're going, and we can meet up. Thinking of entering the truck as well.

Anyone thinking of going to "Everything Japanese" on October 7th at the Goodwood Breakfast Club? Appreciate it maybe a distance for some, just asking as I am planning on going, and can meet up for a burger and coffee/tea...

Hi there, Yes I can do photos, truck currently in mechanics garage to check front hubs. I don't have a garage myself at the moment, really frustrating. Try and get some up next weekend.

Hi there, Interesting that you are thinking of buying a tent. I spent many a night in roll down tent from the side of landy, and good friend converted the back of his truck to beds, no faffy around, just pull up, kettle on, chair out and took the Micky out of me pitching a tent. So will see what...

Hi ollyb, just joined as well, so welcome. Envious of your location, just an hour away for shear enjoyment! Tom

Hi there, Just checked with the previous owner, he got them from; https://www.alibaba.com/ Just use the search dialogue box, they sell all sorts. Thank you again for the advice. Tom

Hi Animal, yes it was the one for sale in the Wirral. Thank you for the welcome, these forums are great, used the ZClub one for a few years, still have a 260Z, my dilemma was the money to be used to restore her or buy an 80, well you can see what one! Star Cruiser, thank you the guidance, I...

Hi there, After a few years of driving other people's Landies (I'm allowed to swear !) I decided that it was time to buy my own, and settled for an 80's Cruiser. Spent many months waiting for my criteria, petrol with lpg, low mileage with some off road kit. Apologies, but I hate diesel as a...
