following up - the sunroof drains are subject to clogging - be sure they
work - all of them -
And, re seats - buy a seat from a wrecked car - look on US Ebay if the
prices are too extreme locally to you - if you find one at a fair price,
****pping will be under $200 - if you don't want to go the e-bay route,
I've
had good luck with HoustonEuropean (they have a web site). I certainly
wouldn't pay $2000 for reupolstering a rear seat - I can sell you a whole
car for $3000 that is running and ready to go - here's a link to it
http://losangeles.craigslist.org/wst/car/365343347.html
- and if you fly
out
from the UK to pick it up in person, I'll even treat you to dinner or
something....... (who could refuse a deal like that? well...... :-)
