the bed seat re-trim (with pics) UP-DATED 24/9/04
well as some of you know i recently purchased a bed seat, it was in good nick but i decided to retrim it 
Anyway i ended up doing it in red  as red goes faster, nah really i saw
alot of kool hotrods with red interiors so i thought i might give it a try. I ended up using marine vinyl as my mates and i always put our surf gear
on it and it needs to be pretty tuff
So heres some before and after pics i thought id share.
This should be the base as i got it.
and the top as i got it
this is the finished product (both top and bottomb)
and this is the underside of the base
any way there you's go
