And since my v70 now appears to have an exhaust valve hole, the
craigslist s70 with wrecked seats draws me back to this post...

What happened to these, I thought Robert said they would be out in April, I guess the covid-19 had a hand in that as well! New seat leather would be nice,our 2000 P80 is in good shape inside for a 20 year old car that was neglected except the front seat side bolster are cracking and pulling apart from the seat foam.

I wonder if we could get some new seat cushions as well as the covers. I'm having a hard time sourcing replacements and I would love to have brand new foam.

Bumping this to see if anything ever happened. It’s been two years so I’m guess not, but…
