Restoring Seats Pending Install

Yes, it took a while to get the parts here but www.legendaryautointeriors.com came through again.   Their main order control employee was at SEMA instead of manning his post at the order desk.  No worries, a SEMA trip is worth the backlog of orders.  :)

Anyway, my seat foam has arrived.   I've got to pull the seats and get them over to the shop to be recovered and the springs repaired.   I've got to say driving her will be much more fun once you aren't sitting on the floor.

Onward.

Next Stop New Seat Covers - Vinyl or Leather?

The original seats in "Ellie" are vinyl noted on the door markings so I am leaning towards purchasing the OEM replacement  vinyl covers and sticking with stock.


The vinyl seat covers are $1,000 cheaper which is important when it comes budgeting for other items that I need to get her going.

I'm still considering doing the carpet but I'm afraid once I pull it up the project will cascade into a bigger project.    The current carpet is in good condition with no stains and doesn't smell of smoke.  Findig a non-smoking car was a big win.

I've found a place in Santa Clara that does a lot of classic cars upholstery jobs.   Two weeks to go.
