I just received my two new front seats from Don Thibault of P1800.com. My total cost was $728.00 which included the two front seats in leather, shipping and insurance to deliver to me and shipping and insurance to return the cores. Don has a $150.00 core charge for the seat components that he includes when he makes the seats up for buyers.
He will send the seat bottom (which in the case of my 73 ES snap to the frame) and the seat back that has certain components included (these are the CORE items that you will return once received). As the bottom sliding track and frame are not included, you should inspect the sliding track for damage. My track was broken during a previous accident and I never knew it until pulling the seats. If you are missing the lumbar knobs or the plastic that fits on the chrome back adjustement, you will still need to get these as they are not included in the deal.
Also, prior to purchase, he sent me leather samples to review to make sure I was comfortable with the color (Lt Blue) as well as the leather quality.
I spent a couple of hours removing the seats, dismantling them, transferring the parts from the old to the new, packaging the old core in original boxes, and assembling the new seats. Will install after painting and carpet installation is completed.
Was a great set-up as you will not have to remove the old seats and send them out for refurbishing for what could be 4-6 weeks. Not fun driving on egg crates. Be prepared to wait a minimum of 6 weeks depending on Don's workload. I will attest however that the end product for the price is well worth the wait. He really did a nice job!
