I've sorted of been doing the same. I looked for a good supplier in Canada, but was not satisfied. So far Spitbits has been getting a lot of my business. It sucks to waste my money on shipping and a crappy exchange rate, but at least I know I'm getting quality parts. For the next while every month I will put in an order, 20-50$ over budget heh and go from there.
Tonight I refocused myself. I went into the basement and had a good look at the stuff in storage. Looking over my vinyl specially the seats. I see no reason not to reuse them. Aside from age and a little tear on the driver side (which I cover with my seat belt at shows) I think they are fine. The arm rest needs help again I can cover that at shows, but should try and replace that piece.
