Seats ✔️ I cut the seat protectors from a 0.8 Seats ✔️

I cut the seat protectors from a 0.8mm polypropylene sheet which isn't completely clear and a touch stiffer than the original 0.9mm sheet. The lower one stuck out too high so I modified the pattern to hide it a bit more. Pretty happy with the result and despite the thicker plastic I think it'll do the job without cutting into the vinyl.

The adjustment mechanism works well enough. It's not like there's a lot of adjustment anyway so once it's set it won't be moving.

Seats almost done. Bit of a bittersweet moment. Gl Seats almost done. Bit of a bittersweet moment. Glad to see them covered but I feel like an idiot for leaving them improperly stored for 5 years...! The seat frames imprinted themselves on the rear leaving patterns that are unlikely to come out. At least they're on the rear and I don't have to look at them everytime I hop in the car. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Will try a bit of heat to tease them out but not expecting a good result.  Live and learn.

My original radiator had a mangled bottom tank. I My original radiator had a mangled bottom tank. I swear the car had been off-roading for part of its life. Bought a straight one but the core wasn't flowing well. After more dollarbucks we have a brand-new-old radiator.

Couple of parts need plating and the exhaust manifold might need a change of colour but otherwise very pleased.
