...I built these.

Really easy to do. Got the trunk carpet from Auto-Wa in Carp (near Ottawa) and used contact cement which worked great. Nice guys there at Auto-Wa. Talked to them a bit about redoing the seats on my '81. Said it would cost about $350 (CDN) per seat for new foam and good quality vinyl including labour. May consider doing it in a few months.

$350 CDN per seat is a really good price if the quality is high!

Installed and working...

It actually looks quite good behind the seats. Didn't screw anything down because it's actually tight between the seat belt mechanisms.
