Hi. I have just brought a 1995 1.9TD 306 and am planning supping it up a bit. I am going to concentrate my efforts on the engine but I want to make sure the car in itself looks half decent as well.
Now I have done my research and have found out where I can acquire most of what I want but I am having trouble finding seats and door panels and this is where I ask your help.
The design of the material used on the seats and on the door panels is pretty hideous and has got to go. So my first question is does anyone know where I can pick up some decent new seats for my car in particular rear seats. I have found plenty of sites that stock bucket seats and what not but I’m more interest in getting something that’s a bit more cushiony and even if I go with racing seats I cant for the life of me find anywhere that sells rears seats. I was considering going down the breakers yard but I would like to get new ones if possible. So if anyone has any sites (UK sites preferably) that I can acquire these from then that would be great.
Now for my second question, the door panels. Well I was simply going to remove the material in the centre of the door panel and replace it with something more stylish but after removing the door panels it seem this isn’t an option. The material is glued to the PVC covering the rest of the door panel and the PVC is stapled and glued to the wood behind it. I have taken all the staples out but as soon as I peel the PVC away it rips at the wood and I can see me never being able to get it back on once it is off. So does anyone have any advice on how to remove this bit of material or where I can pick up some new ones. I would prefer if it could be done with the standard ones as the door panels I have found are getting on £250 and that’s only for the front ones so im still left with the back panels to sort out plus that’s £250 that I could be putting somewhere else.
Also if anyone has any other tips for modifying the car in anyways then it is appreciated.
Well it’s a bit of a read and I appreciate the help. Also im new to modifying, this is my first car I have even bothered to change anything on so sorry if there is a simple answer to this.
Thanks in advance.
