New Seat Covers

[GTchris]

This is a pain in the ass. I am not sure if this is the "correct" way to put these back together but, I think they look pretty good so far. This is TMI upholstery. I picked up the burlap and jute locally at a fabric store. That was an adventure in it self.

I picked up a decent set of seats but, they needed to be restored.

Sand blasted

Painted

I have been reading that the bottom front seats were the hardest to do. So I figured I would see how this would go. If that is an incorrect statement I am paying someone to do the rest.

First new burlap

New jute

Rods, they look a little off because of the angle

Pad - this is a pain to go through the pad and make sure to hit the rods.

1 done - one little dimple but. I think this will work.

Looks good to me. The sides might not be as "plump" as I'd like, but that might be because of the new foam. It might improve some as they wear. Do you have a hog ring on the left side where the dimple is on the right? It looks like it might not be pulled down enough.

Here is the underside, looks like I got rings every where I could and I can't pull the cover any tighter.

The seat buttons came in so, I finished one of the seats.
