Right update, i've finally got the drivers seat done. I used the passenger base foam and back foam in the end to fix drivers seat. I thought I might as well use the same age, but much better condition fomas to srt the drivers seat, then wait untill the passenger one gets repaired, at least I can drive it this way.

I changed the base material myself, very easy. However the backs were much harder to do. So I dropped them off to my local trimmer who fitted both front back sections, and all plastics associated with the backs. I repaired the cable to tilt the seat forward by using a corrado cable that I found in the shed. Which means I have a brand new set of tilt cables if anyone needs a set, drop me a PM.

Heres the drivers seat:

The trimmer did a cracking job of the uppers.

Few! No, I know the furniture clinic do a good kit. You doing it yourself? It should end up looking mint! Once mine is done, it'll then have all the body work touched up or a complete re-spray. Can't wait!

Update:

Front seats are now finshed! :P  :mrgreen: Rears are in but not stretched enough yet as i've got to make an internal support for the rear headrests and I need to take them apart again to weld them in. Then I need to make a new rear panel for the back seats.

But pretty much done, i'm chuffed to bits with the finish. Obviously not as good as the original leather Rivage seats but close enough not to notice. Have a look:

excellent work, cracking job!

The steering wheel is mint, as is the new look.

Delighted that you have a picture showing the screw behind the inner door handle as it is all from keeping me getting my doorcards out for my cabby's resto.

Where did you get the leather for the seats?

'83 Black GTI Cab on BBS RAs - DreamBoat 3000'

Well, I was sooooooooo jelous of your seats, thats what made me go on the hunt to sort mine out. So inspiration or the green eyed monster? BOTH! :mrgreen:

Would love to have proper Rivage leather tho! I may in the future have the fronts of the seats retrimmed in leather, well it's an option at least.
