Just got the seats back.

The front seat springs had gone and were just about to split the trim.

Before and After shots ....

Hi Steve
Love following the FB of yours rebuild as it is the same paint insert and seats pattern as my FC Sedan as i have mentioned before. My FC Sedan has the SPEC plate with the FB colors and trim and the 1960 Chev haedlining. Car looks great, good luck with it all . i know this pic has been on here before but with it being the same color as your sedan i thought it was fitting.

Thanks MJ, I will see how it looks before paint, after being ground down.

This is not the regular guy, as he was away. This was a new guy.

Appreciate the feed back. That's why I put the pics up :)

MJ, It was a work experience kid in. They gave him my guard to practice on :shock:

Then they re-did it .... I should have asked first :oops:

It's all good now!
