HONDA CITY CABRIOLET TURBO2 : RECARO seat custom 21

I got an old Recaro seat which was replaced with fake leather. I had kept the original fabric of the CITY, so I used it to cover the seat and back. I searched the internet for a way to disassemble the sheet and done it. I used an industrial sewing machine to fix the fabric and sewed it by hand too. It looks classical and cool!
