Default Did It Myself seat no how to though :(

I had a RED Tenzo R seat and it got faded really bad. So... I tried to get it recovered. Every place said it was too hard and refused, OR they were gonna charge $400 to do it. So i went to the fabric store and bough some stuff, ( #30.00 to the penny ) and recovered it myself ( has my mom help me since i'm not the BEST sewer ever....


But this is the result of one days work and $30.











Don't think it came out too bad , considering i had really no template or pattern except for the dissasembled pieces of the original material and we didn't measure anything....

yeah i know it's not the BEST fit... but it works and that's all that matters to me. My car isn't built to win shows. It's meant to be driven. It's got a dent here and there, and some scratches... I like my car and want to actually use it and have fun with it.
