Got one seat in!
Permalink  
 

I didn't have a lot of time today, but I finally got the driver's seat in. Had to re-trim the carpet some and make some new holes, then mount the brackets. The seats sit higher than my other ones, hope they settle down some, my head just touches the headliner and that's with the seats at their lowest mounting height. Hopefully tomorrow I can get the other one mounted and in, then put the shoulder harnesses in. Next up is a smaller steering wheel which will help with the seat height/knee clearance. No good pics yet.

I still have some little stuff to do like put the sunvisors back in, hang the driver's door panel, attach the concole again, and swap to a smaller steering wheel, but it's ready to rock!

Yep, same stuff I got from you. The rear never did get installed until this week. Fit good with some additional trimming around my shifter and bolt holes. I do need to fill in a section where it was mysteriously hacked out before i got it.

I even was able to pactch in some of the missing carpet pieces. Obvious if you're looking, but good enough for a glance. Just need to color my kick panels black.

The only disappointment is that the seats, front belts and wheel look newer than the rest

Oh yeah, they're just about the only new pieces in there.

Were you still thinking of having it professional buffed during a club meeting?

Yeah, might not have the funds right now unless they want to show the how-to in exchange for the what-on.
