Start to finish on an average pair of buckets- including full teardown, repairs, and re-installing all the trim parts and tracks... easily between 8-10 hours and that doesn't include wire brushing or cleaning or painting anything. Teardown- 2 hours (takes longer the more deteriorated it is) Spring repairs- ~1hour (can be less if there aren't any needed obviously- replacing complete spring assemblies still takes time to remove and install the new ones) Install buns & padding- 1-2 hours Cover install - 3 hours Reassembly - 1-2 hours (reinstalling all the little hardware & trim panels, locating & cutting holes through the covers... bolting upper and lower cushions together, installing chrome trim on seat back & sides, etc etc) I do these in my spare time, so there is a lot more stopping and starting which adds more time... but I have also done "emergency" projects and doing a pair of buckets and back seat start to finish can easily eat up an entire day.
