1982 CHP Upholstery
Hey guys looking, last year we purchased CHP #258 and brought back to Australia. we've been able to acquire many of the original police equipment and bits for restoration, however upholstery seems impossible to find. Do any members have insights on our problem??

Welcome to the '82 club! Since there are several of us with 82 CHP cars "in process", I have been wanting to see if it is worth several of us pooling our efforts. I don't see SMS giving out any deals, but if we could get a interior guy to sew them up, there might be a deal to be had there. Anyone know how much fabric and vinyl it takes to make a set of the seat covers?

3.5 yards of seat fabric with 2.5 yards of foam and 2 yards of muslin backing based on seat dimensions.
I have a guy that does reupholstering of cars locally in CLE. He did more modern headliners like on my Diplomat for about $200.00. I know that there is a company that makes the reupholstering kit for just about any car of any vintage including Mustangs and it was about $350-$500 for a set of front seats. I just need to find who they were and maybe that might help you guys along. So litsnsirn, you got any progress shots of the car? You guys really put a lot of effort into them it would be interesting to see the build shots.

Thanks for the heads up on SMS, sourced the upholstery, carpet and roof lining. Plan is to strip her for paint in the near future. I've attached a couple of photo's of her here in Australia, ignore the radar and blue light they are a little Ozzie fun. she will be taken back to CHP configuration.
Just looking for the Ts100 siren and Micor control header if anyone can lead me in their direction otherwise all the other equipment has been sourced.

You can get nice used or new Ts100 siren speakers on eBay.
I bought a brand new one for my 1992 for $60.00 in box. I also purchased all of the trunk radio equipment on eBay as well. Wiring harnesses and everything. It's amazing what you can find on eBay ! Good luck on the car !
