The original seat cover and foam on this 33 year old Honda ATV TRX70 is in need of repair. Follow along as I replace a missing section of seat foam and replace it with new high density foam. Once the seat foam is shaped and looks good, we can then install a new seat cover.
This is my first time doing upholstery repairing and covering an ATV seat and I am very happy with the finished product. Hopefully this gives you the confidence to tackle this job.

Just saved one of these little quads from next to a dumpster. A little gas and three pulls got it running. Want to go through it and make sure itll be good for my 3 yr old so very interested to see how yours comes out!

Congratulations! These little 4 wheelers are getting hard to find and a lot of times the prices are very high. It sounds like someone didn't know what they had. Thats awesome you found it by the dumpster. I have a new project to unveil this week and then we will get right back onto the build. Thanks for your support.

I can hardly wait to see the finished product. Will there be a part 4? I have a 1986 also we took it out of storage after 15 years have pretty much what you have done gone through gas tank Rebuilt the carburetor and it was amazing after all these years it started up on the first pull. We bought new tires and luckily the plastics are great on mine my only regret is I recovered the seat on my own and I did it in black so after watching your video I think I’m going to pull it off and do it in the blue. Today I will be working on the new graphics it almost looks brand new. excited to see what yours looks like. Thank you for the video

Honestly, the staples that were in it from the factory were rusted so I knew they were steel. Based on that I just used regular staples found at the hardware store. I think they are T-50. They do make stainless staples if you have deep pockets but I didn't see the need.

You should of steamed the the old foam. Steaming the foam poofs it up and makes it like new. Then add the new cutouts. Also a lite misting of bleach in the end and let it sit in the sun for a bit before adding the cover in the dryer so its hot and stretchy

That seat looks mint. I did the same to a Honda trx quad, the seat cover had split but the foam was okay though. Before fitting the new factory honda seat cover, I covered the seat foam in a pelt of sheepskin, basically like what you did with the layer of white foam ( i had to shear it around the edges so I could get a few staples in to the seat base lol). Then i fitted the factory seat cover over it. The seat looked kind of puffed up but it worked well

I recently did the seat on my 1997 Arctic Cat using this video as a guide. I used an angle grinder with a diamond metal cutting wheel which worked well. The blade is very thin so I used it to make the initial cuts where you used the hand saw as well as carving out the center by holding it in a vertical position and moving it back and forth. I had to be careful and go slow but it did a really good job. Thanks again.

Wow... you got a GREAT price on the HD foam... **Anyone have a good source for foam??** I can't find any that isn't at least $30+ just for 3 inch thick. I need to make a simple rectangular seat, but at the costs that I can find, I can buy a premade seat cheaper than buying the foam and making my own.

Try your local boat shop. They might be able to direct you to someone that reupholsters seats and can sell you a scap piece of foam

I was one of them that got bit. Totally shattered my right wrist. The 4 wheelers are much more stable than the 3 wheelers. It would be pretty difficult to flip this one just because the center of gravity is so low.
