    Why is there never a tray? The seats may be salvageable, but I don't thinks so. Any one here know how to do seat covers?

    hog rings

    You need a mini bolt cutter to cut the old hog rings off,
    A washing machine to clean the the dirt out of the fabric,
    a pair of hog ring pliers and some cheap hog rings

    Did I forget to mention laundry detergent and a dryer?

      The seats sat in a barn for what looks like years. I have hog rings from the VW I was working on. Small tears and burns, lots of rust stains on one from the other sitting on it. I may try to make my own covers. I have a killer book thats lays the basic idea out for me. But I have to destroy the old covers to make templates. The rear split seat looks great, and all the hardware is good. I'm gonna try to wash em (not in a machine worried those old seams would explode).

      Keep smiling every time I look at the pic. I love a goodies.

        Look for Freshtivas thread about how he cleaned his seats. When he was done they looked almost new.

              That was Rolla I think. Got pleather covers from Philipins(err). I get green in the eyes every time I see pics. I'v done door panels and visors before, but I'd hate to screw up the oe covers.
