Worked on the drivers seat today and a few other details.
 |
| The drivers side 'squab' vs the original on the left (hope that's obvious ;-) |
 |
| Seat back sans cover, the rubber lumbar strap was broken and I was able to fix it. |
 |
| the seat ratchet mechanism, needed cleaning and paint |
 |
| The new seat, should be a little bit more comfortable |
 |
| New foam and diaphragm, cleaned and lubricated tracks |
 |
| The carpet is worn where the seat mechanism has been rubbing against it, since we are trying to keep the car as original as possible I have flipped them side to side hiding the damage under the seat. |
 |
| Pristine floors with no evidence of the four letter word.... That's it for today, will clean up the hardura under the seats and get the 'new' drivers side seat installed, hoping to get the passenger seat done too-stay tuned. Cheers, Lynn 6 hrs |
Okay, you've convinced me. When I get a new interior kit you get to do the seats. I've never done any upholstery and don't know a darned thing about lasts.
ReplyDeleteDrew, I'd be delighted to bring my staple guns to Texas, but not in the summer ;-)
DeleteWell, an improved interior is a long way off for me, unfortunately. :-( Paint first and if that works out a new interior will be next on the list. Paint probably won't be done until after the next tour.
DeleteIn some ways Drew a new paint job would just add to your stress on the tour, you'd be worrying about where you park, wait you already do that! OK, you'd be worrying about every new rock chip-waiting till you get back will take some pressure off yourself. But remember when your ready to do the interior "Have gun will travel", staple gun that is.
