Finally finished rebuilding seat and recovering. Now the refurbished interior is nearing completion. Just need to finish trimming carpet, install seat belts, door panels, head unit, and steering wheel.
Reclaimed R12 refrigerant so I could disassemble a/c system enough to remove core support for rust repair (battery area) and repaint. Temporarily buttoned a/c system back up so I could evacuate to keep moisture out and re-use filter/drier. Going to change expansion valve while I have it opened up (evaporator flooding issues). No, I am not doing a BMW engine swap!
