A good upholstery shop should be able to do minor repairs to the seat frames/springs, as well as recover in original materials.
As far as "modernizing" the seat to recline and go up and down. It would take a lot more than the 1K budget you have.
You're best bet if you want modern seats and don't care about the originality or look is to find a late model car or truck seat that has the power options you want...and then the fun begins trying to adapt them into the Bird's interior.
Thanks, don't really need power just reclining or at least the ability to change the seat angle and possibly height. I'll be the sole driver so once set, I won't need to change either.
Thinking a seat swap might be the easiest solution. Has anyone tried the Procar seats? They are pretty cheap but seem to be well reviewed. Main issue that they don't come in blue. https://www.speedwaymotors.com/Procar-80-1300-53L-Pro-90-Seat-Driver-Vinyl,319102.html
