I have a 2004 model Colt workhorse bakkie in my fleet. My only non-Isuzu.
It has over 300 000km on it & has had a hard life.

The seats in the Colt were looking tatty...

Pierre 'Bugger' Eksteen is Club & Forum member, he runs VdubTech.
He is a 4x4'er, Overlander, Father, Event Arranger & a Poor Communicator in English (but not bad in Afrikaans).

He rebuilds & refurbishes vehicles for clients, mainly Air-cooled VW's.
He has an upholstery shop.

A few weeks ago I sent Bugger the pics above (actually a video from whence those pics came) & asked him to quote on reupholstering them.

Today I collected them, seats look fantastic! Not only were they reupholstered, but Pierre then made seat covers.

So we have seat covers on the seat covers to protect the seat covers!

Thanks Bugger! Great Work!!!

Why is Bugger hiding the actual upholstery work

I agree Manny - they did look crap!

How about showing us what the seats look like underneath the covers?

Shane, I may slip one off tomorrow, but they are tight - so it's a schlepp...

So you've never had a tight fit before???

Posted: **Thu Jul 15, 2021 10:37 pm**

Yes, but only the first time...

Thanks For driving 70km to use VdubTech

Now the seats should last Twice as long as the 1st Time

Bugger, its 72km return, but I sweetened the deal by meeting Andreas at O'Peri Peri for lunch on the way back.

Good job Pierre.

@Manny, jou hol kan 'n sitplek kou.

... nice upholstery,
but is it worthwhile cosmetics
to try improve a Colt ?

Manny a.k.a "penny pincher" just tried to give the colt some street cred.

I can refer him to my sound guy in Boksburg so that he can get the most out of his Kurt Darren collection.
