This is a job we did for a kiwi customer, who bought Houndstooth cloth and vinyl from Australia.

As per request to make comfortable driving seats, we retrimmed them with almost all new seat base springs, plus a number of upgraded spec springs in both back rests and bases, all new seat foam kits, and made-in-house seat skins as per factory envisioning.

For an inside look into how we repair, improve and create comfortable seats, see here.
