New seat covers fitted
While in Florida last year I picked up some seat covers for the Charger, The old ones had cracks in the upright part of the seat. I took one of the front seats out the other day and stripped it down, this is what I found.
The foam on the upright was OK but on the seat was another story, it had already been patched up and not to well.

I managed to get some foam from my local car trimmers, and as he is a American car nut himself he gave it to me with no charge. After a couple of hours of swearing, this is what i ended up with, I think I have done a reasonable job as I have never done this sort of thing, I know it's not Rocket Science but I'm pleased with it, I will do the other one in a couple of days, once me hands and fingers have recovered, the next one will be easier, and I must say I quite enjoyed doing it. Here are the pics of the one I have done. The only things needed to do this was, spray glue, bread knife, hog ring pliers and hog rings.

Gosh - I remember that job, took me ages to get the things tight enough.
Best tip I can give anyone who tries this is a) Get them nice and warm first (put the covers in the airing cupboard or something. Or a nice sunny day leave them for a while to soften up). b) Hog ring pliers - I made my own by putting a slot in a set of grips. Worked a treat...
Well done Derek - new seat looks great. There are a lot of 'loose' recovers out there but yours looks nicely done.

Thanks for the compliments guys.
Trev, Just doing the fronts for now, back seat is fine.
Kev, I would help anyone do theirs and enjoy it.
Pete, You're right, it is hard graft.
Ivor, I did the passenger one first, If the drivers one come out as comfortable I'll be well pleased.
