I got
a tip and went to visit a gentleman in Clearance NY. His
basement is stuff with Jeep parts. Lots of good stuff,
but no great deals, and let me clarify that, he has good
stuff for sale and is willing to sell it but knows it's
value. I do not think I got raked over the coals, but I
did pay top dollar for the value of the items I
purchased. So I purchased one seat, a roll bar cover,
and a complete carpet set
|
|
The carpet is in tack, but pretty
worn out. I will have to compare each piece with what I
have and pick the best and put that in the best pieces.
This carpet is dried out and thin. |
|
The main reason I am looking for
carpet is the original owner left a spot light on facing
the carpet and melted a hole in it. What I am thinking
is I will pull the carpet, find a piece that is up under
the dash and take it to a carpet store and have them cut
a patch, and hot tape the patch in the hole. I will then
have a complete set to sell.
The best pieces will remain in the
Jeep |
|
|
| I also
purchased a seat. One of the mounting holes in the frame
is rusted out and there is a small cut in the cover. The
plan is to take this to an upholster shop, have the seat
cover removed from my frame, have the seat cover removed
from the frame I just bought. Have the upholster plastic
weld the cut, and install the cover on my good frame. I
will weld in a patch on the frame with the rotted corner
and see if the upholster can plastic weld the problems
on my seat cover and put my old seat cover on the frame
I purchased and sell that. |

New seat to the right, rusted out
mounting hole lower left, small cut lower right |

|
This is the seat I am looking to
replace, and it's problems |
|
|
 |
I think this is the find, it is an
original roll bar cover which appears to have never been
installed. I paid big bucks for this and really want to
put it on the Jeep NOW. |
 |
 |
| So the
question is can I. I have the hard top on now. I know I
would have to remove it but what do I do about the
center support on the roll bar for the roof? I'm I not
supposed to put the pad on while the hard top is in
place?, Do I just go over the support with the pad and
cushion the pad between the support and cover and again
cushion the cover between the roof and pad? OR... remove
the support, drill a hole in the pad, and install the
support through the pad and the cover |

For my Christmas my Son gave me a
present of rubbing out the Jeep. It came out VERY nice. |
