Getting a bit ahead of myself I guess, but pulled the rear seat cushions out to get some estimate of how much material I would need. The front seat I figured while still in the car.
I found nice red/maroon color material I like and think would look good with the black car. Also measured up the door panels too.
The car has around 89,000 miles give or take, so I guess a going through of the motor to see what condition it is in is in order.
Brake need a complete do over, luckily the lines are still all intact. So this will make good patterns for bending new lines. I think I'll use the copper/nickel line. Interesting that the lines are 1/4", most newer stuff in usually 3/16".
