Too true sounds like new seat prices dosn't it, might have a look around a scrap yard or two might find a couple of white leather seats ??????? (even ebay dosn't have white leather seats) something out of a merc,porsche mybe or a 4 x 4 that are the right size and fit .
Have seen othe car's at show's with non-standard front seat's so this might be the way to go??
Have now ordered halfshalfs and a few other parts so another busy weekend coming up if weather stays dry?
Think i might save up for this kit

I used NOS on my 3rd gen LT1 350 trans am ....scary or what....
I have a 300 shot of NOs direct port nitrous kit in the garage, I may pop it on the car one day, but just for show. Ron used to use NOS, although 600hp on NOS, kept blowing engines, Tony used to use NOS they kept blowing engines too. I guess if you do a 50shot of NOS and have gauges to monitor fuel pressure then you should be okay. The thing is, if the NOS fires, but extra fuel doesn't go in, then it doesn't take long before you engine start to melt, running very lean.
Although the alternative power adder would be turbo or supercharger they can be a bit costly, but if you engine goes then that could also be costly. I'm sure many NOS users may be able to tell you they got it reliable, but i haven't found a person yet. i think they started with sensible power, but got addicted, wanted more, and its gonna go bang.

Dan, I doubt the bottom end would live with a 300 shot. The guys in the US normally max a stock bottom end on a 150 shot. I think you will need a forged bottom end to take that, along with a secondary fuel pump and some bigger injectors too.
I've never tried NOS, but I think it's a great way too add power for those times when you need it.

Yes , car started life as a 2.8 v6 firebird , I run 150 shot of NOS , I had it on a button on the B&m shifter , it was the cheapest way to get the power I wanted ....if you don't know what you are doing you will blow up the engine , I also had NOS on a 2.8 capri I had many years , that was the fastest car I have ever had..
