So i bought an old sofa bed to make some temporary cushions for the back seat and sofa and then had a brainwave
Image

all this nice powdercoated steel with hinges sort of resembles a buddy seat, so i set to work..

Just need an old chair now to rip apart.

forget the old chair to rip apart, i found a nice headboard in a charity shop £20
Image

slightly wider and longer than needed so i worked out the size i needed allowing for the overlap of the material to stretch behind
Image

peeled it all back and then cut it to size
Image

didnt have a staple gun so used carpet glue to bond the material, so thats the seat done
Image

and here is is complete, took approx 2 hours to do
Image

this will match the cream leatherette back seats im having done. :D
