Hi James, I needed a seat base foam refurbishment in my second ever Volvo, an 81 mustard 240. I had an upholsterer put in some new foam and it was economical and lasted.
I'd be thinking now all these 240's are 30-45 years old even the best of them wouldn't be worth swapping into another seat? That said, driving my 79 242GT last couple of days the seats are like new (orig) with 159 on the clock so anything is possible.
