LJ 80 seats
LJ 80 seats
Good morning all, Not all things go to plan( Well, not when I am doing things} Plan 'A' was to have the seat bases reupholstered on some LJ80 seats I got from a scappy. Plan 'A' is now out of the window as when the cover came off the steel seat bases just crumbled apart. The problem now is I don't have a plan 'B'. Anybody any ideas on other seats that would look ok and be as close to the LJ 80 seats as possible?

Re: LJ 80 seats
Can't help really, but if you can't find original seats (or original looking seats) then I personally would deliberately go the opposite direction and get leather seats from an Audi or Beemer, to make it obvious that the seats were "upgraded".
Original is best in a restore, but if you can't get original, go luxurious - at least that makes *some* kind of sense.
Alternatively fit SJ seats as a blatant stopgap.
