Seat rebuild and recover

The coupe has just had its biggest interior upgrade to date!

My seats have needed replacement for a while as the leather was starting to tear and much of the stitching was disintegrating. This was going to be at least a $2,000 project, so it kept going on the back burner. I started to see positive reviews for Lseat about a year ago, so I took a chance and purchased covers for the front and rear seats for a very reasonable, $600.

When I received the covers I was very impressed with the quality of the leather, dye and workmanship. Compared with the original Connolly hides, the leather is not as smooth and the black dye is more matte. Shipping was very quick. I placed my order on Dec 23rd and they arrived on Jan 10th. Also, I had quick email responses to any of my questions. All of the pieces were the right size (with one exception) and in some cases they substituted leather where the originals had vinyl. The exception was that the rear seat bottom cover was too short where it covers the front of the seat assembly. See below for details. Overall Verdict: good company, with a quality product. I highly recommend their work.

Here are all the gory details about the installation process:
