Got the passenger side finished and installed.

Here is what the seats looked like before:



And here is what the passenger side looks like now:



Here is the finshed seat prior to install:



and a close up of the stitching



It was an awful lot of work, but sure worth it. Took me the better part of 3 days to yank the seats, strip one, move the heater and hand sew each pleat, then finish the install. I'm sure the other side will go a little quicker, but I need some rest. I can state that this is not a project for the impatient. Hand stitching the pleats is very tedious, slow work. My biggest single compliment on the job came from wifey (she sews), she took one look at the finished seat cushion and asked if I had sewn it. I was working on the backrest, replied "yup" with a smile and all she could saw was "WOW".

We'll see when I'm up to do the other side , the eyes and fingers need a little break..
