swapped old seats

Post by BFF_Larry »

I've been doin a couple interior repairs these past 2 weeks on my spare time.

So far I've fixed the DIC, headlight switch, vents, headliner arm rest, door lighting, console lid, Passenger door panel, and the front seats.

I switched out the passenger seat with one tht has literally no tears.

Today I swapped the driver side seat tht had really bad tears and holes in them wit one tht has one tear and two little holes. Which to me is worth swapping because I had to use a butterfly seat cover to mask the nasty seat.

Here's a pic of the old driver seat.

Here's the better looking seat before cleaning and using leather spray.

And I cleaned the carpet up a bit.

I love that you took the seat out to properly clean the carpet. That's what I do.
Now you're just one step away from going "full-Haro" and removing the carpet, and cleaning it with the powerwash at the DIY carwash.

Yeah, and he's done it many times, on several different Bonneville's. It's very impressive.

I just yank the seats out and use a carpet steam cleaner with a hand attachment. That always works really well for me, so I stick with it.
