Hi Guy's. Just thought I'd share what I've been up to in my Freda. All the materials I used were from the conversion when I brought it but I've changed it a bit and now modified the centre console.

Very smart and a handy little table. Do you find it a bit high to rest your arm on or are you very tall :)?

Haha I'm over 6' and it feels just right to me. It feels the same level as when i rest my arm on the door card the other side so it's quite equal like a really wide arm chair. :lol:
My wife hasn't tried it yet so that'll be the real test!

[-X We didn't all buy a Bongo so we could play with our knob while driving. :lol:

Nice handiwork by the way =D>

No I'm afraid not Helen. They're removable covers. very handy to have leather. Especially with the dirty dog paws after a nice walk. I can check the make on the label if you want to have a look for them?

Hi Michael
Errr...Just curious if you imported them 8) ...I have a set in mine, which I imported from Japan :

I got let down by a trimmer, as I was going to buy a set of seats in the UK, have them re-covered and ship them out here, but then I found these...pretty pricey, as they are only made to order now, but I think they were well worth the money!....plus , I can re-stuff the seats if they sag...and as you say, much cleaner with dogs!
Cheers
Helen

I agree Helen. Best I've seen. Someone on bf was asking after some recently - they'd love to know where to get those I'll bet

Better fit a seat belt to that centre console :lol:

Hi Mike...

I did think about a seat belt for her to sit there but she settles in the back when we're moving. The dog's well behaved too :lol:
