New Seat Covers

New vinyl seat covers

Finally got around to reupholstering and restuffing the passenger side seat. One tip when trying to reattach both halves of the seat: disconnect the tension springs on the reclining mechanism. This allows for easier alignment of the holes for the hinge pin, just be careful when reattaching the springs as they are rather strong.
