Bought some 914rubber seat covers by way of stevegm. Super nice product but...there is still more to do before they can go on. The seats are very rough cores so I hope to replace as much foam as possible.
I am going to the upholstery shop tomorrow to see what they can source for new foam, wire and metal brackets. I will also trace out new pressboard and cardboard. I ordered some seat heaters off eBay. I will also pick up matching bolters from 914rubber. Disassembly is always the easy part. Attached image(s)

My seats were in pretty bad shape. I ended up going to an upholstery supply store in town and picked up some foam to try to repair them as best I could. To form the foam around the frame I used a piece of copper wire (12/2 romex) and bent it around the edge of the frame. I put the ends of the wire onto a solder gun, using the heat to cut through and form the inside of the foam. Once attached to the frame I shaped the foam as best I could. I'm not great at this picture posting thing but here goes...
