Does anyone know of anyone that can rebuild front seats?
Or is this something that your run of the mill upholster' can do?
I am 1hr south of woolongong, NSW

some people are like slinky's
they have no useful purpose
but they are fun to watch
when you push them down the stairs

I guess depends on what you mean by rebuild? My upholster obviously dismantled my seats fully, but didn't do the brazing that was required to fix a joint. Obviously after powdercoating he reupholstered.

More info maybe?

This is the price for "basket weave" material. The Web site has prices for full seats.

I need to recover my rear seats in a 74 Kombi (Bus). Is it possible to just get the Ivory Basket Weave fabric?
