Excellent workman ship. The last red thing was partically good.

[Karisma]

Thanks. I take great pride in doing the best work I can. Which red thing is that?

[eddypeck]

Amazing work, well done and best of luck with your venture. Although it looks like you'll have no worries, the quality speaks volumes.

Where is your workshop located?

And would you be able to reuse material(faux or real leather) to recover and restyle a seat of rear
seats to make them look similar to the replacement front seats?

The front seats they need to match



I picked up a fair but of material from the other cars that the new front seats came from including the
base custion which is nowhere near the neon's seat base in dimensions









Acomparison between two base cushions, mk2 neon beige and volvo black(faded) the neons would need
to be altered to look similar in style to the volvos using the material so the colours would match!

I don't like the totally cut corner on the volvo rear base cushion and it isn't as extreme on the front
so I will go with the front not the rear!





Too many photos to spoil your thread sorry

Advise on wheteher or not you could do something like this please! And if so a rough ball park figure too!

Aaron, as your original back seat looks in good order (minus some biro marks) why don't you try dying it before re-covering.

The pictured terry in a couple of pictures is the tan one which can be chopped and changed. I do
have a black version of the tan but the pattern of seems etc really show that they are not of the
same style as the volvo front seats I am fitting. Then there is the obvious difference in material
which can be seen in the flesh!

Which is why I used the tan set to do some rough working/thinking out on how it could be done!
