New seat covers!

About 6 weeks ago I finally bit the pricey bullet and ordered a set of new seat covers. The rear seat was mostly intact as the previous owner had never had any passengers ride in the back of the car, but it had somehow become badly torn along the top and was not reparable.

The front seats were a lot worse…

Old vs New: A before and after showing just how bad the seats in my car looked prior to their refurbishment!

The front seats were a doddle to restore. I have no prior experience with this kind of thing, but with new covers, new seat straps, new foam bases, a can of spray adhesive, a bit of thread and a pair of scissors I was able to re-cover these in no time at all! Once I had sussed how to do the first one the second seat probably only took around 30 to 45 minutes to make like new.

An upholsterer or professional trimmer would be able to do a much neater job I’m sure, but I’m very happy with how they came out!
