Good work with those seats. Very nice! You know the spec of them? As in is it foam inside with springs? or Horse hair etc??
Great to see the progress ticking along, slow it maybe but it is moving.
These resto's aren't easy are they!

Basic seat frames and spring pads are original.
Seat frame slides and adjuster mechanisms checked and freed up, broken springs replaced, spring frames re-spot welded, media blasted and powder coated to start. All new padding, using very special dense foam shaped to the original fibre pad and reinforced around the edge, extra shape installed in the driver seat, lumbar support in the backrest and new covers made to Sam’s instructions but retaining the original VW wire fix down style.
