One is an SE7 with Black leather. It needs head gaskets and has 160K on the odometer. Interior is very clean. Brand new Coopers on 18" wheels. Front bumper is good, headlights, rear bumper, SAI.

The other is an SE with Alpaca leather. The engine seems fine but needs to be checked. 120K on the odometer. Kids, so it's a little messy but otherwise, new brake work and tons of newer parts.

Also in the yard are a 1995 RRC LWB in Plymouth Blue with Sorrel Brown leather, a 1993 RRC LWB in Roman Bronze with Saddle Brown leather, a '96 DI SD in Epsom Green with Bahama beige cloth and the last bits of an '00 SE7 DII in White Gold with Lightstone leather.

Let me know if I can be of help with parts.

The second '03 DII in Epsom green with Alpaca is also an SE7. The seat backs are black. There are a complete set of genuine rubber mats front, rear and cargo area. The center bumper has a small crack on the left but the two end caps are fine.

Let me know how much for the seat cover and/or cushion assembly. (Just thinking of shipping and i dont need the whole seat) I think the pass side will fit the drivers and visa-versa? If the pass is better I rather that one ... Or maybe both for a spare. Anyway shoot me a price via PM or email if you'd like.

Also need the little plastic screw in anchors that hold the front floor mats in place - do you have those?

I'm starting to tear into the one with black leather on Monday. I'll get the seats out and sent you good photos. Sorry it's taken me so long buy I've been inundated with calls and emails about these trucks.

Hi Doug,
I finally got the seat bottoms pulled and photographed. Here you go. Let me know what you think. The drivers seat is the one that has the slight wear on the left bolster. Also, the front plastic clip is broken and one of the side clips is missing. The passenger side is really nice and most of the clips, excluding the front, are in great shape.

Hmmm.... The only issue with mine is the front broken clip strip. Ha ha.

I wouldn't mind one for a spare and maybe it's better than mine.... Do yu have a $ figure in mind. Hate to be cheap but its not worth much to me with broken clips. :-/

I have someone who repairs the clips, hand sewing in new ones but it's not cheap. The alternative is to glue or epoxy a good clip to the damaged one. I've seen it done. I have a customer who has redone the seats on his two DII's a number of times. He's become an expert Land Rover upholsterer.

Do you have a supplier for the clips? Or is it something an upholstery shop should have? My vinyl drivers seat is all cracked, and all the clips are broken. I've been considering installing grommets, and zip tying it to the seat base. But, If I can swap one of those leather passenger bottoms on, it might be worth upgrading it for the ass warmer.

What I would do is provide one of my customers, who has tons of experience with these seats, the clips from seat bottoms that were badly worn. He can then either sew them in place of the broken clips or graft on good clips to the remains of damaged ones. I am saving any good clips I can get my hands on for this very reason. I watched him, just last week, remove a seat bottom, then a set of good heating elements from a seat I brought along. He then installed the elements into another seat bottom and used clips he had repaired to reupholster a seat bottom making it look and perform as good as new. All I can say is the guy is hardcore, takes his time and is pretty fucking good at what he does (as a hobby no less)!

Ken,
It was great to meet you. Thanks for your purchase.

In case you forgot the name, try the Bailey Hayden, it's a nice Bourbon for about $45.
Cheers,
Paul
