Well, decided to get back into working on the car, I was waiting till the weather cooled off a bit, but that does not seem like it is going to happen any time soon! 85 today, and 78 tonight.... I do wish I had a air-conditioned garage to work in!

Anyhow, I started to cover the other seat with my Mr. Mike's seat covers, and he was there with me, helping me out every step of the way I got the bottom done, and will do the back of the seat tomorrow.

Here is what I started with:



While I had everything apart, I took the time to sand down the frame rails, and primer and paint the rails, bolts and such with Semi-Gloss black. Nothing worse than putting the beautiful new seat covers on, and see rusty frame rails and bolts underneath the seat!

Ok, seats are all done!

Here is a closer photo of the seat rails. As I mentioned, I have seen SOOooo many beautiful interiors posted on the forum. New dash, new seats, new headliner, carpet and on and on....and in the same photo, rust on the seat rails. While I had the seats apart, I painted up all the hardware.



Fastening up the lower part of the back of the seat:



And all finished...



Here is the completed drivers seat, all put back together and ready to install.



Just another thing I can cross off on the VERY long list of things to do!

Now, to head to the mall, and post that I need the covers for the reclining mechanism for both seats

Ok, working some more on the interior.... I took the door panels off, and found some rusted up bits. It will never be seen, after the door panels are back on, but decided to sand up the rusted bits, and then primer and paint in a semi gloss. This will prevent the rust from getting worse. I am not sure of this is the case, but hopefully, coating the rusted bare metal, will also git rid of that "rusty smell" LOL. I have nothing to base this on, but I do think that rusted metal has an odor to it, so it can't hurt!

Here is the door when the panel was first removed:



And here it is all cleaned up, primered, and a coat of paint: (The red parts that are showing in the photo, is actually a reflection of the bright red T-shirt I was wearing when I took the photo! LOL )



I finished up recovering the door panels. The bottom part is Mr. Mike's lowers in Electric Blue to match the seats, and I did the top part of the door in Black AllSport vinyl.



So, with the seats done, and the door panels in place, I set the seats in the car to get my first idea of how the interior is going to look....



TONS more work to do of course, but a little at a time I guess......
