Current Projects

Well less than a week and already have several projects in the works:
1. Replace torn drivers seat bottom - received in the mail from theseatshop.com and planning on installing tomorrow.
2. POR15 / rust convertor frame and undercarriage. One quart POR15 and two cans Eastwood spray with extension tube sprayer for hard to get to areas ordered and on their way.
3. Rear bumper back ups sensor replacement - 4 ordered from EBay and on their way.
4. Weather tech floor mats ordered and on their way.
5. charge AC system - gonna pick up a can of freon later today - blows cool just not cold.

A good start I think - really want to get the frame done before winter sets in.

The original he about a 10" tear near the seam closest to the door. Have some clear "gorilla tape" holding it together for the time being - I guess could be better condition than someone's. Will take pics tomorrow and likely post it... Good idea!

Will do - unfortunately a TP55 stood between me and the project today. Ordered one off Ebay and hope to recover the seat by next weekend...

UPDATE
#1 Waiting on TP55 socket to remove the seat - new cover looks awesome!
#3 Completed - easy swap in driveway and they now work!
#5 Completed - $40 can of freon did the trick - AC blowing nice and cold now
