Anyone ever reupholster??

[mph]

Try Tandy leather (they are in just about every state). They have "seconds" upholstery hides for about $100 each. They are seconds as they have flaws (like holes from barbed wire) here and there in the hide and therefore can't be used for sofas, etc. But for autos they are great, as you cut small pieces anyway and just work around the flaws.

Thank you very much! Tandyleather.com has such good prices! I went to a local shop today and they quoted me at $675 a hide for leather. I thought that was the cheapest I could have that done for! I would have ended up spending $2025 to have the seats redone.

Tandy Leather has hides for $300 a piece and the seconds sell for $100-150 a piece.

A question though, are the bolsters, and each center piece seperate (as in the bottom center piece and the seat back center piece)? Also, with the backs of the seat, what is covering the plastic knee rest? Has anyone re-dyed that or replaced the material?

Yup, all separate, If you take the seat apart, you'll have 6 separate pieces (4 bolsters and 2 centers).

Not sure about the second part of your question - a knee rest on the back of the seat?
