That's coming along nicely :)... Envious of the Recaro interior though, would love to find one of them for mine (almost impossible to find I bet!)!

The subframes are the trickier aspect. The Recaro's fitted to the ST205 are actually still made by Recaro - its called the 'Speed' - £555 inc VAT from Recaro when I last looked. The only issue is the material won't be the same as the OEM ones.

I have some nice plain black ones in my car.

The subframes are by far the harder aspect to resolve - these used to br available from Bride via Nengun or RHDJapan. Not sure if thats still the case.

Get the subframes off a ebay seller called nzkw
Exact replicas as a good price.
Colin aka gottagoturbo is considering selling his heated recaro seats if your interested.

Looking good again Martin. Lots of elbow grease there. Can't believe you let her get like that!
Love the two peice front brakes you got. Do you know if there is anybody that can make the same to fit with the std calipers?
