Kimjon - DIY "Lego upholstery"

Recommended Posts

Okay; it's not old school by any stretch of the imagination, but I'm actually enjoying doing bits and bobs to improve this car. And not a spot of rust to be seen in the body.

Anyways...due to its age, the seat had worn through in the usual place. And the handbrake lever had broken, both made the car look a bit shit/rough inside. Ebay to the rescue and parts arrived within the week!

So:

Seat out of car so I can work on it.

The foam has a strong velcro that holds the cover in place. Easy...just match it up and away you go.

Under the seat it has plastic clips that clip into folded sheetmetal, its pretty obvious once you're at this stage what to do.

And boom!!! All done, just like a brought one!

Totally transformed the homeless chic interior into something, um, well, um less likely to have a homeless person living in it.

Just now, Bling said:

I feel mislead, where is the lego themed fabric?

Haha...yes, very misleading title.

More references to how it just snaps into place with zero ability required (just like Lego, for big boys).
