I admire your resourcefulness!

Next you're going to paint your car in the color that's most popular among rural males in the age range of 18-24 years...

This does remind me a bit of this Peugeot commercial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=50A9wjJ40Dk

You sir, are a master at your craft (and undoubtedly your domain).
My hat's off to you for your resourcefulness in keeping this 928 on the road.

I'll keep eyes peeled for a pair of seats for you.

I have one passenger S4 seat, tan leather, that is in very good shape. It gave up its seat switch and lower tracks/motors to repair another seat. Yours for free if it would help the cause.

Wow, just read your story on Pelican. My hat off to you for all your work. Too bad about the engine. Hope you will get it fixed.

You know, I've seen better and I've seen worse. It is certainly more functional than when you started. By any chance was the PO of this car Frank N. Stein?

Truly, looking forward to the rest of the improvements.

You should paint the seats as well.

But on a serious note, the before and after pics of the interior do show a big improvement.

Baby steps, baby steps. At least if you have a date she won't stick to the seats or hurt herself! That's always a big plus!
