Rear seat

Post by **Sidney'61** » Mon Mar 09, 2009 6:54 pm

Hi,
Please could somebody post a photo of a standard 1960-62 rear bench seat (the one with the wide stripes).
Mum is in the process of making her own and wants to make sure she gets the pattern right.

Thanks

So she's going into production then!

Yup! She has one front seat done now (photo's may follow if I remember to take some

)

We just couldn't decide on how many stripes to put on the back seat, all is sorted now though.

So we can start placing orders soon ?

Methinks if I even dare suggest that to her I'll be sent straight to bed with no supper...

I did mention that she could then make covers for the metro seats in Emily, she wasn't too amused.

She'll be making them in her sleep soon - I was - all those thin strips of material

Just a quick update.
We've got one of the front seats just about finished now and I must say I'm happy with it

Considering this is my mum's first attempt at making a seat cover and I don't think she's even touched a sewing machine for a few years I am very impressed, she's certainly making much more progress than I am with the rest of the car!

Then a quick test with the rear seat

I'm well chuffed

Thanks Lou, well the seats may look fantastic but have you seen the state of the rest of the car?

!! And as for me driving...well...

Well Rich, how much are you willing to pay?

I don't think I'll dare ask for any more after this set for fear of something very large being thrown!
