Fitting The Seats

At last, MCT Restorations finishes and fits the new seats to complete the interior of our upgraded project E-type

- Jim Patten

WE’RE ON the final stretch now, not only for the trim, but also in completing what has been a very lengthy and sometimes frustrating period. It’s hard to compare the car as it arrived (with high-back seats and wood veneer dash) to the one I see before me now, with its lush red leather interior. But we’re ahead of ourselves. We still have the seats to finish.

I threw a spanner in the works by deciding not to use the original high-back seats, and instead sourced a beat-up pair that was complete and untouched. In truth, the high-backs had been so well done that it seemed sacrilege to touch them. They were sold on to an appreciative home.
