hah, my brother got a set in pretty much that exact condition. no tears at all from a JY. Confetti version. 50$ for both, to match his blue interior in his EF CRX. guy pretty much got those seats stolen from him at that price. so make sure you sell those seats for more than 50$ because some people will pay a pretty good penny for those in that condition. hah!

Wow man way to bring it back from the dead. I think we are doomed to help these old cars be restored to at least some part of their original glory. NO matter how we find them we will fix them! Keep it up! And if yOu get tired of it I'll take it lol

haha, well done on the carpet. you convince me to do the same to my own. i'm sure in 20 years mine hasn't been taken out and sprayed down like that. though i do clean it every other weekend ... i'm sure a pressure wash from a car wash gun would do it some good. nice thinking.
Day 3....cleaned painted dash parts, fixed why car was running like crap it was a bad relay...found out that the head light issue has a bad fuse box.....replaced

dash and door panels painted and some oem black vents installed



pulled front bumper getting ready for paint and a custom lip installed

all taped off
