Anyone ever considered re-apolstering the seats in a nice/new leather? How about the dash-pads and door panels too? You can get 60sq ft of black leather on eBay for about $120. I'm just thinking it may be worth an attempt on an old interior out of a yard or something.

I have my eyeballs on the copper canyon color, flip it over for a suede look on the dash and accents. As for how much?? Dunno, give yourself a lot of room for fudge factor, once you mess up on stiches and have to start over some pieces will show your bullet holed work, you may have to scrap some and start over. You would also want extra for the future, color matching may be tough getting the stuff online like this.
I redid my seats in vinyl, and went through probably 1-3 yards of material (3 yards of 36x108 - 27sf). Cut the costs as Zois has said and either re-use the existing seat back material or use new vinyl back there. The backpad would take close to a side I'd wager, door panels would probably take 1/2 a side (for the pair). I would guess at least 3 sides, depending on the shape of the side you get - from the pics it looks like about 3-4 tall by 8 or so feet long. I striped the stitching on the seats and laid them out on the vinyl before cutting to get the most of the material that I could without much waste. CSOBC way would be to cut apart what you have, lay it out on paper, add it up then buy it. |
