Another pointless update on "Rusty" the car.
Can't say that progress has been quick, but I have gotten some stuff done. This big step is that I have rewebbed and recovered my seats and installed them in the car. I had to glue extra foam on the seat bolsters, because the car had had the seats previously recovered. The replacement foam was a slightly different shape than original, but was still in decent shape, so I added foam where needed to fill out the covers.
I was gratified to see that the replacement seat mounts were correctly positioned so that everything lined up with a minimum of pushing and shoving. Installing the seats with socket screws 1/6 of a turn at a time was tedious. The factory must have had some sort of special tool, otherwise it would take two hours for a tech to install those seats on the line. Grrr.
I also installed my new speakers. I wanted to upsize the speakers from the pathetic 4" factory units, but the steel in the door simply would not allow it, so I opted from some 4" 2 way 4 ohm speakers, so I have some hope of hearing the radio with the top down. The remaining door hardware (catch releases, window winders, door pulls) are also in.
