David, I re-did my seats with the kits from VB. It wasn't too hard, as long as I had the proper tools (glue, hog nose pliers, etc. It took me three weeks working the evenings to restore the seat rails and to recover the seats. Oh, by the way, new seat foams too. The VB kits had a hole at the top of the seat for the headrest, and the hole had a chrome grommet that will have to be dealt with if you don't use the headrest.

Hello all, Now that the Spit is getting the body work done and painted, i am getting the interior bits ready. I have new door panels and rear cockpit panel. I will be getting the new carpet soon and I want...nay...I NEED to redo the seats (DPO started one of them on fire while doing some shotty welding work). I want to redo them in vinyl the same color as the door panels and cockpit panel (dark red). I should also note, the seats that i have are not even MkIII seats, they are 1500 seats with the headrests. I am thinking about redoing them without the headrests. How hard is it to redo the seats yourself? I vaguely remember someone doing a write up on this procedure. Anyone else remember that? Otherwise, what is a good price for getting them done by someone else? Thanks, Dave '68 Spit...getting there (hopefully by next summer) Your messages not reaching the list?
