Why? Most of the Vendors have these for cheaper than the prices you have.
I know many who have kits from ClassicDatsun, myself included. Any year
Roadster, any color you want. The research has already been done. Seems like
a waste of time and energy. From what I remember the seat kits were @$250
for all parts, for 2 seats.
Just an Opinion, yours could be different!
