Got hold of a crew cab seat conversion for my van but it's in a poor condition and ideally needs a re-trim. I'm keen to have a go myself but where would I source suitable materials from? Thinking new foam and the cloth to cover? How easy/hard is it to do?

You can buy the fabric on eBay or through suppliers like Woolies Trim, Segals etc. Google motor trim suppliers.
You have to remember that if you are wanting to do the seats in leather you need an industrial or semi industrial sewing machine. I wouldn't say it's impossible to do a good job on a car seat on your first go, but upholstering one is not an easy first project.
If the fabric on your seat is only fit for the bin, I would take it off, unpick the seams and use the pieces to make accurate papers templates. Buy some cheap auto fabric and try making say the base cover to see if you feel confident doing the rest.
Depending on which car it is, it might be cheaper to buy a used set of seats on eBay though.
