Seats make a massive difference in these things...ss seats are damn comfy.

Trimmer kept saying my bitsa vk will turn out really nice with all parts collected for it & should just go spastic with new Scheels...will have to wait untill it's finished or let next owner buy 10k interior lol.

I purchased a pair VE SS seats and had them recovered in period correct herringbone and velour but still a $4k investment (including recovering rear seat). It was quite easy mounting them to the std VK seat rails (just used box section), I spent a weekend trying to utilise the VE motorized rails first but gave up in frustration. I'm just in the process of changing the front head rests to the "scheel" look. The VE seat is really comfortable & has a great range of "adjustability", they are a lot taller than the original VK seat.

The correct steering wheel is a 380mm Momo wheel, last time I looked they were fetching + $1,000.00 on eBay (reproduction models). There are 350/370mm wheels more readily available.

Above 370mm Momo wheel C/w centre cover (Mazda RX 7 used this wheel back in the 90's).

Period correct 380mm VK SS Momo reproduction wheel & centre (note the thumb grips). If you want to be fussy the hub should be painted the interior colour!

I sometimes look for blue leather vy ss interior or similar to put into my vk but they're usually trashed....otherwise will just have wait forever trying to finish what I do have.

Low budget build means it takes as long as it takes.


Got me stumped people selling just one scheel/recaro then claiming out of Brock or whatever when clearly they aren't.

Yeah the prices are a joke...

Saw somewhere new foam headrests $300 no trim

People get super pissed when told the crap they bought is not genuine or not even close to what they think they bought after paying too much.

10k for correct all new scheel interior/trim is not bad if got the coin & plan on keep car for life.

^^ Still get shocked someone spends 100k on a replica yet still gets things wrong with interior.
