    Just picked me up a nice pair of 92' Prelude seats, no tears or obvious stains, just need to give them a bit of a clean because lots of dirt that got into the car got on the seats.

    Just working on fabbing the tabs for the rear mounts and they should be in.

    Already test fitted the drivers side, sat down, and could tell they were definitely more comfy, and held you better than those rocks you call Festiva seats.

    Cut the control arms off the car... time to remove the cages and get some bolts.

    Need strut bolts and nuts too. Can't wait for all of this to be done... going through anti-seize and grease like crazy!

    e-brake grabs a little better but still not good enough, I think the cable is stretched, because it is tightened all the way down, and the brakes still barely engage.

    God these parking brakes are poorly designed.
    Driverone told me about the adjuster on the rear beam, that helped some too.

    Last Monday: finally bought 5 wheels I've been searchingfor / coordinating to get from Canada. They are enroute and will be on my front porch tomorrow. Also bought some parts at my local Ford dealer. Should be here next week.

    Today: heading to a JY to look for brown rear seat quarter panels.

    Yeah after I bought my Festy, they were the only two on there, and they were as dirty as can be, I didn't even notice there was even rings on the wheels until I looked closer. lol

    I would have kept them on mine after I had cleaned them, but only had the two, and they didn't look too good to me against the black painted steelies, at least in my opinion.

    Auto adjusters fixed, new brake cylinder installed, brakes bled, and everything back together. Will work on the passenger side tomorrow, hopefully I won't burst another cylinder.

    I MIGHT need another adjuster on the drivers side, since the teeth were pretty worn and didn't really want to bite.

    Just fixed the e-brake pivot on the driver's side since it was seized solid, but as I was testing the brake to see that they were put together properly, the cylinder sprayed brake fluid everywhere. *sigh*

    Looks like it is off to autozone!
