You can see, in some of the early pictures, the ultra crappy seat covers. My kids liked them for some reason, so I kept them on until I couldn't stand looking at them any more.

The passenger side seat back is in nice original shape. The driver's back was pretty torn up, and the seat bottoms had some stylish indoor-outdoor carpet glued to them.

I shopped around for some new covers, went to a shop and got a quote, and eventually ended up buying one good used '76 passenger seat cover from member FJResto for $100.

I put it on myself and painted the frame and brackets with Rustoleum. You can see some more evidence of preservation on the floor. I wire-brushed the rust, primed and painted with rustoleum. I'm starting to think about having just the floor done in color-matched Line-X. There's a large spot under the clutch pedal where the clutch master leaked fluid and took off all the paint. I haven't done anything to it yet, and it's rusting some.

I'm still looking for a seat bottom cover for the passenger side.
