| So this is my 2nd set of seats that I have done myself. The first set was in the blue/green flame ranger. These are for my Lincoln truck. I did the pipeing this time, the seats prior had no pipeing. I like doing them, I hope I get better. lol. Just thought I would share my sewing adventure with my homies! These are the seats in the Blue/Green flame ranger. Lincoln Ranger seats. First I took dem puppies apart Stitched them suckers up. Black micro suade, Black Leather Ostrich . Still need to paint the side shield and tilt lever. but they fit pretty good. Black pipeing, no headrests. 2001 Escort zx2 seats | |

| I'd say those look pretty good. I would like to attempt upholstery eventually. Do you need a heavy duty machine to sew through leather? | |

| Thanks. Yeah has to be a sewing machine rated to sew leather with the correct needles and threads. Im hopeing to be getting an industrial style one from a family member downsouth. But yeah, take the stitching out and each piece has notches all the way around that matches to the mateing piece. give it a try. | |
