Spit-Listers: I have been lurking about for a long time and not posting much. Read diligently though, keep learning a lot.
I live in the northwest suburbs of Chicago. I just realized that the annual VTR meeting is in Rockford, IL at the end of July, the weathers been unseasonably warm here, and I need to not only fire up the beast, I need to get to that spring to do list like now. Great recent advice on carpet sets, I'm buying one. Here's my question: I have the original seats in my '70 MK III. As you might imagine, the foam in the seats is just a memory that has mostly ended up in the vacuum. I need new foam, and would really like to replace the seat covers because they are not looking real good these days either (I attribute this to my lifestyle during college in the mid to late 70's). If I get all of the above can I do this job my self, or should I get a professional upholstery type person to do the seats? The 1970 seats are fairly unique in style, am I going to get good quality foam and seat covers that fit properly? Anyone out there that has done 1970 seats that can make a recommendation of supplier for the new materials? PS. I tried to post this last summer when the list went down briefly and never saw it. Some of the conversation has turned to the same again and I thought I'd just add my .02. I have one of Joe Curry's camber compensator's on my car and I could not believe the difference after installation. I know the compensator is specifically designed for the rear wheel tuck which I never probably came close to doing in the 27 years of driving the car before installation, but it made the whole feel of the car much more solid and tighter. The back end is a little more bouncy now but its a good bouncy. I highly recommend one for any MK I, II of III owners out there. Cheap and easy to install too. Thanks for any help, Ron St. John 1970 Spitfire Mk III FDU 89708 L *** http://www.team.net/the-local *** Your messages not reaching the list?
