: I'm in the process of restoring the seats in my Mk1. As I'm taking the seats apart what appear to be "restored" seats, I find some construction that leaves questions. The seat back appears to have been supported by wire both vertically & horizontally (Photos available). What kind of wire? Was it just wire, or did it include springs? Was bottom construction the same?
: Seat curve is formed by heavy paperboard. Is that original?
: Any guidance would be appreciated. I'm in midst of this project & have an idea of how I want to proceed. But, would like to know what is original.
: Thank you for any help.
