Need some help here... ![](http://i1227.photobucket.com/albums/ee431/CesarBarbosa/My%20Volvo%20164%20Restoration/Volvo340Seats01.jpg) ![](http://i1227.photobucket.com/albums/ee431/CesarBarbosa/My%20Volvo%20164%20Restoration/Volvo340Seats02.jpg) ![](http://i1227.photobucket.com/albums/ee431/CesarBarbosa/My%20Volvo%20164%20Restoration/Volvo340Seats03.jpg) ![](http://i1227.photobucket.com/albums/ee431/CesarBarbosa/My%20Volvo%20164%20Restoration/Volvo340Seats04.jpg) Does this seats can be recoverable??? They are from a volvo 340 and will they suit/fit my volvo 164??? I know that they aren't red but I think that they are just well used and with a leather restoration they would become like new... Post what you think here...

Those seats can defiantly be sorted with some Leather repair know-how, they don't look ripped. There are lots of companies that do professional repairs on seats, they spray the seats with a flexible vinyl paint of some kind. Someone on here with a MK1 MR2 had some leather seat repairs and it looked amazing once done. I will try and find their thread.... here we are; retrorides.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=readersrides&action=display&thread=86783&page=1Down the bottom of the thread ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Personally on my seats if I get a worn patch I use black shoe polish which usually works a treat but I'm not sure if that's the best way to do it

Thanks for the info and the link... It seems that they are salvagable and they become cheap considering that they bring a whole car included... They are on a Volvo 340 1.4 from 1985 with docs and MOT till next month for 450€... I will go see her next weekend...

What not to do... ![](http://i1227.photobucket.com/albums/ee431/CesarBarbosa/My%20Volvo%20164%20Restoration/2410.jpg) ![](http://i1227.photobucket.com/albums/ee431/CesarBarbosa/My%20Volvo%20164%20Restoration/2059.jpg) Some ass as posted this on a DIY modd... Obviously it won't move anywhere... Almost tried that my self in my Volvo, the 340 of course... But like someone said.... «When in doubt, flat out...»

Little update... Bought some plywood for the back seat and for the door cards... ![](http://i1227.photobucket.com/albums/ee431/CesarBarbosa/nophotos.jpg) Got my self a working Volvo CR-901 radio with the most wanted extra amp. from my Volvo 340. It was only missing the anti-theft code that I sourced a code calculator on the web and via the diods I discover the actual code... ![](http://i1227.photobucket.com/albums/ee431/CesarBarbosa/Random%20Pics/IMG_2873.jpg) ![](http://i1227.photobucket.com/albums/ee431/CesarBarbosa/Random%20Pics/IMG_2876.jpg) Now I have a working car radio, some leather seats that needs some big cleaning job and some small repairs and a Volvo 340 B14E just for some fun... ![](http://i1227.photobucket.com/albums/ee431/CesarBarbosa/Random%20Pics/IMG_2882.jpg) ![](http://i1227.photobucket.com/albums/ee431/CesarBarbosa/Random%20Pics/IMG_2887.jpg) Almost look good enough to salvage but it doesn't have any dent free panels... So started to strip it down only to the bear essentialls... ![](http://i1227.photobucket.com/albums/ee431/CesarBarbosa/Random%20Pics/IMG_2889.jpg) ![](http://i1227.photobucket.com/albums/ee431/CesarBarbosa/Random%20Pics/IMG_2888.jpg) ![](http://i1227.photobucket.com/albums/ee431/CesarBarbosa/Random%20Pics/IMG_2885.jpg) I think something is missing here... ![](http://i1227.photobucket.com/albums/ee431/CesarBarbosa/Random%20Pics/IMG_2883.jpg) Not even the gas tanks has survived the dent car-nage... ![](http://i1227.photobucket.com/albums/ee431/CesarBarbosa/Random%20Pics/IMG_2884.jpg) But then again I was only to make it worst so I welded the diff for the second time, since the first time it broke a tooth and kept rolling like nothing had happened but the second time I included some inforcements just incase... ![](http://i1227.photobucket.com/albums/ee431/CesarBarbosa/Random%20Pics/IMG_2885.jpg) Welded a '85 Toyota Corolla Dx passager seat to it and now it's my drift practise car... Now I just need some boxes of these to become a actual drifter... ![](http://i1227.photobucket.com/albums/ee431/CesarBarbosa/Random%20Pics/Drifter.jpg)
