I used Peter Blanas in Thomastown Vic, and I'm in Perth! His # is 0417 388 239.
Sent over the Coupe seats front and back and he did a great job using a reproduction off white vinyl. It was cheaper for me to freight to Vic and back, including retrim job than get them done in Perth! Rip off tradesman everywhere in Perth. He also organised reproduction Fairmont/GT door trims for back and front using the same material so they matched the seats. At the time everyone was waiting years to get a set of reproduction door trims and he had them made in Sydney and back to me within 1.5 months. I recommend you strip the seats and restore the metal frames yourself by sandblasting them and primering/painting them before sending to Peter.

Very nice bloke. Especially since he is going to great lengths to reproduce correct XA style seat belt webbing! He has trimmed some very nice cars |

Another option is Alan at Oz Trim in Ringwood, did a great job of making the rear seat fit around the rollcage in my car. For door trims I believe there is now only 1 company doing i, the guy's name is Elias. If you want his number let me know and I'll find it for you.

After seeing the installation job Elias did on my Landau roof lining I wouldn't be using or recommending him!

I don't think Reid in QLD from Muscle Car Trimmers uses Elias for door cards.

Talking to Reid last week, he said he got them done by a guy that has all the machines to do it, and there were only one or two people that could do it, so maybe he does, not sure. He said it was far too expensive to buy the machines to do it as every different trim needs it's own die's and they are over $5k a pop just for the die.

I am pretty sure "that guy" that he uses is Elias and Elias' partner from Kools Trim. Their door trims are very good and much better than the product from Pro Stitch (I've had them done by both over the years).

As far as I know the seats are the same for all XA's it's just the slider mechanism which you see on ebay occasionally.
Rears appear also

I don't recall ever seeing that mechanism available , then again when I'm browsing I'm not specifically looking for it.
