Sorry, no idea. It will be probably be cheaper if you can find an
upholstery kit for your upholsterer to install, as opposed to having it
custom-made.

There are certainly people who think that. Personally, I feel it's your
car, it should please you. If a 100-point restoration right down to the
original defects is what pleases you, then go for it. But if you're
just looking for a fun car, a few upgrades are in order. I've thought
about Miata seats for my daily driver a lot, just haven't quite done it
yet. I believe you'll need to modify the seat frames slightly, not
quite a drop-in.
