Does anyone know where I might be able to get enough fabric just to renew both seat bases (not the backs) or is it possible just to renew the backing material, as the velour itself is still good.

Pictures attached.



Many thanks

Pete

ps. I would love a Ford, as an Escort was my first company car, but they are starting to get out of my price range, but at least I am sitting in the same seats!
hello mate
got a mint rear bench out of a 1988 rs turbo in the loft.
can’t remember if it’s the top or bottom part but the material and foam is immaculate
could be re-purposed ?
