Spider seat replacement options and STUFF!

[JeffreyOlson@xxxxxxx]

Jake,

Check out the 'close-out' items at World Upholstery's website.  

I've purchased several complete Spider seat kits in both vinyl and leather for 
$150!  Includes everything necessary to recover two seats plus seatbacks and 
headrest.

Remove and disassemble the seats yourself (very easy but pay close attention to 
how they go together!) then bring JUST the lower seat cushions and complete 
backrest assembly to a reputable upholstery shop.  I've had several seats re-
done for less than $140 for BOTH with outstanding results.  Pick them up when 
done, re-assemble, and re-install.  Worth every penny!

Vinyl is MUCH easier for an upholstery shop to work with and obviously less 
expensive.  Leather kits do not seem to work as well over seat cushions 
originally covered in vinyl but the vinyl kits work great with either.

From: JDRatl@domain.elidedSubject: replacement seats, carpet

I am in Atlanta, Georgia, looking for the smartest way to replace both seats 
and the carpet in my 1987 Graduate (in black).   Should I go to an auto 

upholsterer or is there a smarter route to take?  I've tried the seat cover 
route, but I am hoping to have sturdier replacements with foam in good 
condition.  I've thought about checking junk yards, but am not optimistic.  I 
am on a budget, too.

Any thoughts?  Thanks to all helpers.
