Starting to look good in there. Nice accomplishment to cross.

Regarding your seat, I just got my seat cover from www.CarsInc.com. They carry seat covers that others don't, including the stock vinyl seat with correct patterns, as well as the correct vinyl and original cloth inserts. As far as the foam is concerned, you can go to a local upholstery shop and buy some replacement foam and some 3M glue to affix it to the original foam. You can get your hog rings from them as well. Or if you determine it's too dried out, you can just buy the replacement foam for our seats (although it's fairly pricey). It's definitely doable by yourself. There's plenty of write-ups here on the forum on the process, and even some video clips out there as well. Just take your time.
