Now that my leaks are sorted I finally got around to stripping all of the rust from the floor pan behind the passenger seat. I was surprised by how deep the pitting was in some places. I stripped all visible rust using clean and strip discs and wire brushes then treated it all with kurust, before painting in two layers of rust inhibiting primer. I'll topcoat in a couple of layers of LL7E Flannel Grey this week now that the evenings are bright again.

Not done it yet but picking up some Saab 9000 seats today, not sure if/how they will fit but i remember them being soooo comfy when i sat in one as a kid.

Velour too which is my preferred fabric.

Oh and £20 for a full set helped me take the gamble😁

Ill update with pics of the success or just me crying.

Update: after a couple of quiet nights at work, they did fit after a bit of fettling.

Can't work out how to post pics though...
