reupholstered seat

Replaced the seat upholstery, first time experience. Went real well with my buddy's assistance. Wouldn't hesitate to try it again. Local quotes were $400 to $425, wound up costing about $170. Plus, learned a new skill.

Also, tore into the dash, replaced all lamps, new fuel gauge, stereo, heater core, floor carpet and seat belts.

Re: reupholstered seat

I think it was Brothers. I'm told they all get their seat skins from the same manufacturer. I was sure it would be saggy & baggy but it went right into place. I put a piece of closed-cell foam on top of the seat, about 1/4" thick before the install.
