Thats a more practical cost for this car. Priority be told, I would also like to get the air conditioning recharged and I can do seats in Vinyl and air recharge for a small fraction of leather seats.

My friend had his Jag 2 leather front seats reskinned and recushioned for $900 by a local auto upholsterer. However you look at it the leather DIY reskins seems a major ripoff and even the great value custom seat rebuild is not worth doing with other things like A/C to fix. So Vinyl is an excellent choice.....I only wish they came in dark brown.
id rather do fabric that vinyl if price is such a big concern. fabric is a HELL of a lot tougher
