I recently bought my new upholstery and door trims off ebay, from (mreb1967)

They are 110% I would recomend them in a heart beat.

Slate door trims c/w door tops, and seat kit in slate.


I looked at how the old seats were put together, the rear seat seams straight forward, but where can i find the steel loops that stitch/hold the cover to the metal frame ??

The hatch seats seam straight forward, small amount of glue and stables, pulling the cover tight to the foam.

I havent looked at the front seats yet.


Does any one have a "How to" document that will help ??

Good to hear!! Ive got 8m of Chamois Vinyl that I bought to re-cover my seats, what ever is left over I am sending down to Elias (mreb1967) and will get him to make me up some door trims/pillar trims/door tops and maybe even a roof lining if I have enough material.. Nice to hear others have dealt with him in a positive manner.

I redone the rearsrs and 1 front seat in my hatch, was the first time i ever done anbything like that before

Holden seats are a pretty basic to disassemble and reassemble and with a bit a patience you will have know problems at all. Glue where they were glued and staple the same

It seems daughting at the start but I think you'll be surprised

Thanks for your help.
