Removed the front seats today. I'd shot the rusty nuts with PB Blaster last week and was able to remove them with ease. After I'd wrestled the seats out, by myself and carted them outside I noticed that there was an odd piece of translucent piping trim sticking out from beneath the white and black seat covers. After a bit of poking I saw what appeared to be Elizabeth's original seat covers - still intact. Since I was planning on getting them recovered anyway I grabbed my utility knife and went to work carefully removing the obviously newer outer vinyl. Here's a before and after shot.





Both front and rear, seat cushions and backs still have the original materials intact. The cushions are shot and the foam is dusting out everywhere - those will need replaced. But the seat backs - I may keep those intact and simply apply the new material over them. Especially the rear seats, which are still like new.

Also removed the windshield lower trim and vent stainless along with the windshield wipers today. Gave the front and rear bumper bolts a good bath in Blaster and will work next week on getting them removed.

All in all a fairly productive afternoon. And nothing broken!
