Hang in there, faithful readers, I'm getting tired of them too! Just a thousand more hours or so and they'll be finished!
I put the cobbled spring assembly on the frame. The gray and black look a little odd together, but most of it gets covered anyway, I could have painted it purple and yellow.
After all that hard work and painting, I put this nasty looking jute pad on the springs, and hog ringed it down. It looks a little crappy along the back edge, but it will all be fine in the end. I also used the foam bun from the four-door, as mine was pretty tired looking. I had to cut the openings for the seatbelts to pass through, as well as about one inch off the back edge.
I fastened the rear of the new seatcover to the springs, cut the holes for the seatback pivot brackets, and ran out of time. I've only done this once before, but it sure looks like a heck of a long way to have to stretch the seatcover over the springs.
