Speaking of Reupholstering seats 

I got my first quote today and I may be better off buying new bucket (insert hysterical ugly crying here)
A new rugged ridge low bucket seat (tan vinyl, of course, I want as close to original as I can get) for Tater rolls in at 159 a piece (310 total)

Re-upholstery is looking at 500-600 at a local shop.  


But check out that green and brown!

I may have to find sponsors like a politician ya'll.


WE GOT THIS 

4 years and slow progress.

 September 3 this year was Mine & Taters 4 year anniversary. We all know she & I are slow but progressive. I decided to have a photo...
