I am after two pieces of advice.

 

Starting to look at my front seats for the LX Hatch resto and they are in bad shape  - Trimming and also the frame rust and runners don't run very well

 

1.     Are the front bucket seats for the LX Hatch the same as the LX and LH Sedan

 

2.     Does anyone know who might do a full resto and retrim on my existing seats

Hi David.  As far as I know the hatch bucket seats have a different mechanism to allow for the seat to fold fully forward so rear passengers can get in.  Sedans don't as I understand.  I'm only guessing but would think the actual frames would be the same. My seats were pretty rusted and I got them re-plated, which involved sandblasting first. Come up pretty well and I then just gave them a coat of paint for good measure.  Cheers Ron
