Ok so last sunday i got round to fitting these cheap universal seat covers i got from argos... was listed as 35 quid but at checkout was £23.32 so really was a result.
the seats were 2 front and a triple rear seat, Bastardised to fit .
the drivers/front was easy... slide down, snip snip the sides so arm rests pop thru. ripped sides a bit but i really dont care :P
Image

the head rest covers looked proper sh*t, so i chopped up 2 and covered the arm rests as i thought it was better use of otherwise sh*t items... bit of black cotton and a needle (prob more like 10m cotton) and me stitching away with gay abandon :shock:
few hours later, after i have trimmed and adjusted rear seat covers to fit front bench seat, also needed to slash rear felt of ford seat to allow seat covers to pass thru so i could hook under on wires/springs...
use scissors its easier to do and slightly safer i reckon(well still got 8 fingers n 2 thumbs )
Image

needs bit of pulling and hoping the fold marks will eventually go, but for the money i paid im well happy and defo looks better than the oily old covers of the poor seats underneath!

Should make it go faster 8)
Borrow a strobe light.
I believe you'd be looking at around 6 degrees B.T.D.C. for your type of driving :twisted:
but there's plenty of people on here with more experience to advise you.
Enjoy your thrash mate :D
