I'm looking to find (if possible) front and rear seat material, they need to be recovered, any help? Only decal missing is the driver side rear decal on the trunk lid.

Welcome aboard!
Nice 69 Ninety Eight coupé.

Just an FYI, the big cars (B / C) body styles aren't a huge part of the collector market so don't be disappointed to learn it's not really worth that much. According to NADA the valuation on this type of car is liberally between 4 and 6 thousand. Less if the car needs work.

Deck lid decal? Nope - there wasn't supposed to be one there. If you have holes there it was from a dealer badge/plate.

Seat material is going to be difficult. Are you trying to keep the car looking stock?

SMS will be about your only choice for material. The sell whole cloth, not pre-made seat upholstery, so you'll still need to have a local upholstery shop stitch up the seat covers. SMS is expensive, but at least it will take a long time to get the material.
