Seat changes for MG Montego Turbo

Did you put the covers in the washer while they were off? Looks great

Nope. Autoglym Fabric cleaner. Loads of dirt came off. Very good stuff.

Rear seats now back together, don't they look bright. Also spot the difference in the front seat brightness between old and new. I've decided not to put these in my Turbo as this was just an experiment and the front seat covers are different to my exisiting. If anyone wants them please pm me as I will be selling them soon once my exisiting are finished in the winter time (if anyone wants them that is). As i'm happy with the result I will now have my existing seats re-done to include the embroidered MG logo,Turbo and new sewn stripe. Front and rear. I haven't yet decided if I also want 'Montego' embroidered on them aswell. These are a suttle modification and I don't want to overdo it. The tax runs out at the end of September so I will have them done then. When I strip them down I will do a tutorial as it's very fiddly.

Final stage. This is a mock of the final decision on my Turbo seats. I'm going to have the MG embroidered on the front and rear and leave it at that. I feel that if I have 'Montego' done aswell it's too much.
I will post up pictures when they get finished.

I think you're right to leave off 'Montego', I too think it would have been OTT

[Jeff Turbo]

Now I have my Turbo back from the bodyshop I can start replacing the seats covers. I will post some more piccys up when they have been done. Can't wait till the spring now when I will put it back on the road after i've done everything else

[Jeff Turbo]

I think any tutorial on this kind of thing is worthwhile and a very useful reference, anything that is not covered in the manuals.

Now done on a seperate thread

Experimental seat covers now provisionally sold to an MG Montego Turbo owner in Holland and he will be picking them up next week with some other parts I have sold to him for his resortation project. A very nice early one.

All sold now. He is very happy with them and I have put some piccys of his nice Turbo on the forum. Nice guy.
I pick up my re-furbed covers up next week

Wow, you really are going to win more trophies! If your cabinet aint big enough, I'll take some off your hands! Nice one!

Ha ha, Jum I don't do this to get trophies though I do have quite a few now.
I like driving nice cars

Shelf is getting fuller and so are the wall trophies. Not all are for my Turbo though

[Jeff Turbo]

New MG logo on the front seat and rear seat positioning prior to fixing

That should look very good when it's completed

I hope so as it's my good seats and thanks John.
She made such a good job of the first set that I just had to do it.
