The upholstery on this Healey was a bit dated. I suppose it had been replaced back in the 70's when metallics were used in automobiles ad nauseam.
We removed the upholstery material and padding to find the seat frames to be in exceptional condition. There was only light surface rust.
The rear seat pans were a bit more rusty but not compromised. A bit of sandblasting and self-etching primer took care of the problem.
All the seat frames have been refinished now and are awaiting the new leather. It should be received sometime this week.
The archive listing of this blog contains detailed step-by-step photos and narratives regarding this restoration since it began late last December. Please direct comments and questions to tommystoplesscars@yahoo.com.
Y'all come back now...
