I love the story and the rebuild! Great progress!

Got the seats down from storage and gave em a good thorough cleaning...
It's actually REALLY tough to picture these seats well. The suede plays tricks with the light that makes some spots look gray, when they are actually quite black.

Pic when I first got them down from storage...




I cleaned the worst 2 first to get comfortable with the machine, make sure it wasnt going to damage them, and get a good process down... I prob did 20 minutes on each seat the first time around....

For the 2 seats I plan on using, I spent over an hour, easy, on each one. Once they are 100% dry, I, thinking im going to use a different solution and do them again. Now that most of the dirt and grime is gone to really help TREAT the fabric more than just clean it.

Pics to show where they are now. Last pic you can see the difference from 20 mins each, to 90 mins each. LOL

Awesome! Love fresh/clean seats.

Are you using a shampoo vacuum?

They look great. I could imagine the first would be nerve racking.

I used a Bissel shampoo machine. Added a diluted Woolite solution and took my time. Vacuumed entire seat, and did it again.

For the first time in over 20 years, this old giRl has an interior back in. Felt good to get in and shut the doors with the seat and rear panels in. We still need to do the front door assemblies, but we are in the home stretch. Some shots to prove we actually do something now and then.

Just read the last 6 pages in the plane.. this thread is too awesome !!!!

Suspension all refreshed and ready for install! New hardware, bump stops. dust covers. Almost ready to move under heR own power. Stay tuned!

I had a baby just a few weeks ago (my wife did... If i did that would be.... weird) so work has been slow leading up to him arriving and since he has showed up, but chugging along still!

Whoa huge congrats! I was going to compliment how clean the suspension looks with the anodized forks, but the family additional takes priority.
