Well you know me, tis 9 PM here and the passanger side seat is in. Lovely material and fit correctly. Has more padding than is required even, wonder what else that kit fits.

I tell ya Miss Agatha was purring. Her interior is going to be much nicer than when she came off the boat.

Used some contact cement, spray on, to hold the padding on the seat frame while I fitted the back covering.

Pics upon completion of course.

Moss, red with white pipeing. Also the dash and the carpets and the paneling. all matches and looks really classy. I am very pleased with my selection, quality and fit are perfect.

Now for a new grill and rear bumpers and a wood wheel. Gota save up some funds again, sigh. Fixed incomes are a pain, but the benefit of not working is not bad at all.

Ok here it is so far.

The white circle on the dash is where I am going to install my clock.

That is such an easy job, a bit expensive but easy. Don't put it off because you think it is going to be difficult, it is not.
