leather
right if putting leather front seats in from a calibra(for instance) do you have to have the orignal nova rear seats trimmed in leather or can the calibra(or other vaux) back seats be modified to fit the nova??? cos got no rear seats and 2 omp buckets in and wana swap back to full interior in leather..
you don't have to do either
the complete calibra/cav/whatever rear bench will not fit in the nova, it's just far too wide. however, I've seen peopleput the calibra leather covers, and trimmed foam onto nova bases, with varying degrees of success.
Others have custom Leather trimmed to fit nova foam/bases.
Or be like me, and have leather up front and cloth in the back
Or have cloth and, not slide about during enthusiastic cornering, and not burn the hole off yourself in summer, and not freeze the hole off you during winter.
Never seen the fascination with leather myself.
yeah think i will copy you then & just put calibra fronts in and put gsi backseats in then maybe get backs trimmed in leather at a later date as aint cheap i imagine! how easy is it to put the fronts in from calibra?what mods needed etcOriginally Posted by Lewis.

What seats have you got at the moment? because you'll need the separate sub frames off a GSI/GTE/SR (pov spec seats are all in one piece) then it's just a case of fabricating some brackets to bolt to the seats, and weld to the sub frames.
My fronts we already done when i bought the car. The rears were started, finished by my mum!
IIRC the original fabric was used as a template...
My Rebuild
They're over there with their new toys. Someone brought them in. No idea who bought them though.....
I don't have leather seats but my front seats are out of a mk1 Astra and I had the rear bench retrimmed with the material from the rear bench from the Astra by Classic Car Services, top job
have 2 omp buckets in at min a noticed drivers is bolted on to orignal nova gsi sub frames but passenger is lower than driver n not on orignal subs, i bought car as is so not 100%That's why I have half leather

Leather looks great and smells lush. I've never slid about on mine. Yes it gets very hot in the summer, but you get used to it...
If you really wanna do it, i'd use Cav seats and they look better and get the rear seats re trimmed to match (using cav rears for ease)
Or keep an eye on ebay for some...
