Anyone know where I can my seats repadded? granted they are 25yrs old but there's absolutely no padding in the back of the drivers seat and apparently the back seats like sitting on the bear metal shell underneath (wouldn't know as I've never had to use the backseat)

They're the standard park lane seats look a bit worse wear but with a bit of a clean should scrub up nicely just fancy travelling with a bit more comfort

just go to a fabric supplier and buy some sheet foam of the appropriate (increased) thickness. If you're careful in taking the covers off and replacing them, you should be able to reupholster the backs easily.

I just redid mine, and found that the foam at the fabric store was actually really expensive. I save a ton by buying a cheap foam mattress topper at Walmart instead.

unless you can buy foam cheap - i would be tempted to order from minspares pre cut and ready to go.
