    Hello. I am the new owner of a 1967 Ford Country Sedan Wagon. It is a daily driver. It currently sits awaiting broker action and US export / Canadian import formalities. I am looking for any advice from any Ontario or Canadian members with respect to parts sources. First thing I need is a repair or replacement to the front seat as the driver side fabric is badly ripped and there are broken springs. Thanks in advance. Ripped Seat.JPG

    :Welcome:to the forum. Hopefully the rest of the wagon is nicer than the driver' seat. Looks like a lot of miles spent sitting there.
    Best bet is a lot of luck at a salvage yard or have the seat bottom recovered locally.

    Welcome aboard. I'd love to see more photos of your car.
    I would say the best option, as far as the seat goes, is to have it fixed and re-upholstered locally. It may not be cheap, but in the long run will likely be the one that you will be most satisfied with.
    Good luck with importing your new ride.

    Thanks ModelT1. Most of our scrap yards got cleaned out the last time the dollar swung hard so I doubt there is anything here. I will check out local craftsman.

    Thanks OrthmannJ. I will look around for someone to repair it. Just starting export / import process. Hopefully not too onerous.

    Hello from NS [​IMG].
    I have to agree with the others, a local auto upholsterer would probably be the most cost effective approach to this issue. Is this the biggest scare that needs attention? From what I can see the rest looks pretty good. :D
