Reupholster Seats lets see um

I know there is plenty of threads on which seats will bolt in. I looked at the Corbeau seats and I wanna like them but I feel I am going to be to tall once the bracket is added.

I have decided I want to redo the 60/40 split seat I have. Anyone done this ? Im pretty sure I can get this done without a hitch but the headrests are what concern me. Add your pictures.

I really like the stock bucket seats so I just had mine redone. I thought they were comfortable before but now with new foam, etc. so much more so. Couldn't match the original fabric and door cards but thats okay; I think the tweed fabric I picked looks much better anyway and still looks period.

seats look great.

the trim and fabric shown on your doors is my favorite in the 1st gens. yours has good options, too: wing vents, manual windows, door pockets.

also, great floor mats! they look familiar 🤔

Love the inspiration from the work above. My wife wants bucket seats in the 1st gen (1980) but Im not sure what direction Im going for them.
I want new seats in our T100 because the 60/40 has always made my back hurt on road trips..
