Hacked seat frame fixed. The bulkhead brackets would be fixed too if they didn't disappear in the mail 😔.

Used it as a template to make yet another tow hitch! Cool

Picked up my freshly blasted and powder coated seat frames, now for the fun part trying to fit the OG commercial covers I bought for it.

Not perfect but perfectly happy with it. Not too shabby for a 63 yr old cover and padding removed and refitted.

I guess the base cover will be tougher to fit, might buy new padding for it before attempting it.

Very nice work. Look forward to seeing your results with the base.

That came out super nice!

I don't think the base is any harder to do but I'd definitely use new padding and materials there

Thanks guys I'm very pleased with how it looks now.

So it turns out the base was easier than the back rest and the og padding was better than I remembered.

Nice improvement over what was there when I bought the bus.
