I took my front seats to the nice seat doctor who surgicly transplanted some new padding, fixed the saggy springs & gave it a skin graft of new vinyl & soft velour.
Mmmmmmmm, comfy.

No I cant, but your forthcoming generous financial contribution is going to fix that, isn't it. Or don't you have the balls to put your money where your mouth is.

I found this picture of Datsun 1200 GX coupe seats [thanks Shoey] & was surprised by the similarity in appearance of the trim to mine.

The shape of the back section seems a little taller & they look to taper at the top, although this might be a product of the back section insert being straight up. Mine are direct copies of the 1973 Deluxe coupe pattern.

The headrests seem to disguise their true shape a little, but does anyone know what the material in the 'inserts is? Is it simply a different coloured vinyl, or is it something a little more 'upmarket'

The passenger seat was undamaged, so I now have an intact original front seat 'skin' in near perfect condition that is surplus to my needs.
If you are doing a restoration on a 1200 coupe & need original seat material, then drop me an e-mail.

I may well have an undamaged original back seat, complete, for a 1200 coupe, available in a month or two as well.

Very nice. I haven't seen a seat of 1200 seats this nice in years.

These coupe seats from Japan (aussie coupe?) have a nice style. The sedan seats are quite different, though I've seen this kind in many sedans.

The velour is not an original material in 1200's, but it is stitched in the original pattern. I just wanted to 'plush it up' a little. Of course, now I have to do the rear seat to match, so I am attempting to source a freebie sad-but-serviceable rear seat to retrim as it would be a waste to do it to a perfectly good original seat.

It sure feels a lot better than the original as it had become an instrument of torture.
