| I just buy a 72 beetle and the bench is in a really bad shape, so I need help How can I restore the seats( front, bench) without expending a lot of money; I went to check prices in Upholstery places and the estimate for all seats are arount 500.00dlls, I was thinking to taking the seats to the border(Mexicali) en do it there, give me some suggestions. Thank you. |

| You could go to www.cip1.com and look at their reupholstry kits. They're essentially a seat cover for all 3 seats that slip on over the existing stuff. They're made to fit the stock seats so they're usually a pretty tight fit and dont sag too much... they're $110 or so I believe, cheaper but not as good of quality as getting it done at a shop. |

| You could also check any local salvage yards to see if they have any that are in better shape. |

If the existing cover is complete take a seam ripper (ask the wife) and disassemble the cover, use it as a pattern to make a new cover. Then sew it or have someone sew it back up for you like the original.
As for the padding and all that crap, your gonna have to get a book and learn how to do it or buy replacement foams. |
