Seats

Time to bite the bullet... the 60's car seat covers are coming off!

The rear seat base and back rest have been out of the car for ages (to enable access to the boot without a key) so it was there that we made a start.

As you can see, the frame is in great condition for a 40+ year old car...

...and the covers are held on by C-clips.

(if I clip on a new cover, I must remember to dig out by C-clip pliers used during the garage build for constructing the sediment fence).

Under the seat cover, the cover's foam backing has completely deteriorated leaving a fluffy foam residue that can (mostly) be brushed off, but will need some sort of cleaner to get rid of the remnants.

Besides the very top of the back rest - which is perished from exposure to the sun - the seat is in darn good nick.

More tomorrow!
