Hi All

Just wondering if anyone has any idea how much it would cost to reupholster my 74 clubbie seats?

Or does anyone know of a good alternative seat to install for a reasonable cost?

Just trying to work out which way to go.

Cheers

hey smarty,

it really depends what you want your interior to look like.
if youwant to go for the original look, get ur clubby seats retrimmed. but if u plan on racing it or hillclimbing etc etc u could go bucket seats.

there is a thread on the forum(do a search)
about seats. theyres lots of seats from different modelcars that will fit :wink:

good luck

vinyl is bad for sweaty back syndrome.. no i'll rephrase.. it's THE WORST! :lol:

cloth is warm in winter and cool in summer, and feels nicer. much better than cheap cheap vinyl :wink:

800 bucks for seats that were retrimmed in a combo of velour and vinyl.
Cloth where you sit and vinyl where you can scuff. (back and sides)
the retrimmed the seats and supplied material for me to do the rest of the car myself.
done at toulkey central coast.

I retrimed all mine in leather and its great

But i did do it all on the cheap through a
mate so to get it done normally it would
cost some coin i imagine
