Rebuilding and reupholstering the seats in late model (separate headrest)
TR6s is pretty easy......... especially with the Vicky Brit free step by
step guide. Do them one at a time so you have the other one as a reference.
As to comfort...... I just drove 250 miles in 4 1/2 hours and feel great. In
the past week I did about 800 miles total and find them every bit as
comfortable as in my other 2 "modern" cars. I'm not a stickler for
originality but the stock seats are excellent as is.
