No work in the garage until my arm heals... that gives me plenty of time to surf ebay for bits and pieces for the SC and the 912 projects...
Found and bought a radio for the 912. At least it will look period correct. Do not really care about using the radio but wanted to have something that looked correct in there.
What is currently in the car
The one I got in eBay and should be here at the end of the week.

This came in
Front bumper end caps... I now need to order the rubber trim... forgot about that. Part no. 999.911.084.40
Clips and headlights parts is to fix the headlights on the SC project... needed a few things and it seems that the only way to get them was as part of a kit that came with the headlight chrome trim... so now I have a spare trim for whenever I need it.

Also sent a email to Chuck Moffit on the dash trim. Plan continues to be to use a stock trim from him while he can make the one I want (later style with insert but one that fits early cars).

Let's start while folks chime in on the difference of my seats...
Vinyl cover removed, looking at the back of the seat backrest
Pad removed, looking at the back of the seat backrest
Looking at the other side
Whatchamacallit removed, looking at the back of the seat backrest
Noticed that one of the nuts came off.
I will weld a new one in place

Seat bottom is easier to disassemble. First I removed the hinges
I need to get new rubber (buffer stop) all around - Part #: 644.521.191.01 This is what mine looks like...
And this is what a new one looks like...

To remove the bottom cover is very easy. I just flipped the bottom over and by just pressing a little bit on it I can remove it... all that is needed is to slide out the cover from the channel.
Now to clean and paint the internals before installing the foam and cover.

Edit... can't find the part number for the second part... it is a rubber grommet... here take a look:

Back to the work at hand:
Missing or broken parts ordered. Still looking for that rubber grommet that goes on the driver side connecting rod.
The backrest frame. Took everything off it. Took a wire brush and got rid of the surface rust it had. Some POR-15 Metal Prep... rinse, blow dry with heat gun... some gray rust-oleum spray and it looks ready to assemble
Also started to disassemble the passenger seat

Second seat bottom done. Did not realize until last night that the seat bottoms are different from the old ones. The ones now installed have an indention in the center insert where the old ones did not.
This is what the original looked like
Took me awhile to sew all the pieces together...I kept pinching my finger with the needle. I probably should have not been watching TV and drinking a beer while sewing it all back together
Anyway, seat bottoms done!!
