Hi toolsplus, I sleep in the back of my truck occasionally and do exactly the same, never had a problem.

Hi Jacob, thank you, absolutely right, SIPS, as you don't care about anybody hitting you side on as they will come off worse. Yeah, I know we shouldn't and don't drive like this. Just a little side note, my son at the age of 20, scraped his Polo 1.1 and bought Volvo 480 ES (2 litre) same age...

It's great that there are some people still enjoy driving, and drive depending on their desire or need. I'm lucky, in that have an early Ducati Monster, sounds and looks great, doesn't always work (usually when it's raining which is great as I hate biking in rain). Also have a 78 Datsun 260Z (...

Hi there, Have you thought of looking at Lexus seats? Being essentially a Toyota they may well fit directly? My previous 2 cars were GS range, seats extremely comfortable, and on the 2nd generation had air cooled functionality as well as various lumber support adjustments, might be worth a visit...

Bok, hvala. Morat ćete se obratiti klinici za namještaj za proizvode, ako imate bilo kakvih problema, javite mi, i vidjet ću što mogu učiniti. https://www.furnitureclinic.co.uk/ Tom

Thank you. Now I know what I'm doing I'll get a more accurate timing. The next seat has a nasty tare, about 7" long, so I plan to give an estimate on each part of the process. As for taking time, I prefer to do this than watch "I'm a celebrity ferret catcher in Outer Mongolia" .

Thanks Higgy, I didn't want a brand new look, so kept some of the shallow creases. The rips are a pain in the arse, there the ones that take time, need to cut out the "fluffy" edges which leaves a little gap which needs filler. In essence, if you've done body work, you can refurbish leather.

What I'll do is update the post as I refurbish the other seats, hopefully getting quicker, and an update in a year as to the state of the seats.

Hi Dave, From what I understand, you need to prep the leather, that includes removing the dirt and grim, and not just colour over. In addition, I wanted to fill in some of the deeper creases and had some minor rips that needed filling. Previous time I did this (just remembered), I did the wipe...

Hi Chris, Yes you can change the colour, easier to go from light to dark, but if you want to go dark to light you would probably have to strip back the original colour. I sent the headrest cover to Furniture Clinic so they could do an exact colour match.

The seats on my 80 are looking very tired and in need of some TLC, so the time has come to do some leather seat restoration, my first attempt. Apologies, but I never took pictures of the seat before (I will with the others), but the pictures shows the restored seat next to the unrestored (the...
