TR3 Seat Trimming Masterclass – TR2 vs TR3 Covers, Materials & Frames | Talkin’ Trim w/ J-Skin

Описание: 🧵 In this second installment of our TR3 seat restoration series, Jonathon Skinner dives deep into the nuances of trimming TR2 and TR3 seats – covering everything from seat frame types and hardware, to foam padding construction, cover materials, and key factory differences.
