Change of plans... Front seat is now next. I want to get this finished so I have room in the garage to also get my Phoenix in. I have been paying to store it in a garage. I would rather put that money towards body and paint.
Hopefully I can get this seat , the headliner and floor/carpet in before the end of November.
The front seat wasn't quite the disaster I was anticipating. Glad I didn't take the time, energy and expense to go find another seat somewhere (thanks Shiny!).
Springs seem to be a little bent on the driver's side --not much though if at all. A clip that is part of the main seat frame at the back of driver's seat is broken off though (see last photo below). I may be able to fasten that securely in another way though. Also I have ordered some listing wire to tie all the springs together across the seat and distribute the weight more evenly over the whole seat and also, hopefully firm it up better.
Of course, the new foam will be a big help too and new burlap. On the driver's side burlap was torn out and foam was pressing down between the springs.
Anyway, this driver's seat is a bit more complicated that the rear seat. It's going to be an adventure!
