[s-cars] To re-upholster or not to re-upholster

[Tom Green]

Hap,

Those are words of wisdom, believe me.   The BMW  repair is a refinish 
in place
since the original stitching is still intact.   This is the only way to 
go until there is not
enough original material to work with since you leave the seat in place.
That looks like a first class job from the photos.
