Hi Folks,
Generic opening paragraph.
I've spent the last day or two having a look at my roadster and am gearing myself up to get started with a few of the intital jobs. In my build thread i've said there are a number of different jobs to tackle and am going to split my questions out into seperate threads so that future people searching for similar answers to my questions wont have to trawl through pages of my guff and badly taken pictures. So apologies if i spawn a lot of threads in the next day or two but i have a number of things burbling in my head at the moment and want to ask a lot of questions.
mods - if you want to merge/move/delete threads no probs.
So lets be about it.
This thread is about seats.
Long and short is I want new ones but the sporty / classic / whatever ones I see on places like intatrim are a bit of a turnoff to me. Don't know why but it might just have something to do with my recent redundancy. Has anyone ever come across any regular car seats that fit? I suspect not as I've had a bloody good look around a few breakers yards and couldn't see anything even vaguely close tp the 15 inches i have in the base of my roadster. I also had a good look around on here and couldn't find anything..
In the meantime i have given the original marlin seats a damn good clean and they have come up reasonably nicely. If used i will have to put new foam in the back as right now there is quite literally none.
Question. has anyone ever fitted headrests to these? Seems like a bad idea but ......
Here is a pic of the work in progress on my first seat base. You can see on the left what they were like and then on the right when about half the muck was off. I'll probably take some more pictures tomorrow showing how well they came up. If you don't have "pink stuff" in your cleaning arsenal then you are missing out. the stuff is amazing on just about any job.
