That leather really looks nice. I just got my 2001 C5 a month or so ago...tired doing as everyone suggests...and the manual...using lukewarm water only. The seats still don't shine....now have some saddle soap which was also recommended. If that doesn't make things look snappier, maybe I'll break the rules and try leather conditioner even though most everyone says that's the wrong thing to do.

Pulled the freshly re-sleeved/rebuilt master cylinder and shipped it back because it's leaking a quarter size spot on the floor every week. 
Going to install the 3rd water pump soon. First leaked, 2nd was cracked, I made a new rear plate gasket for the leaker, now no leak but found the a/c belt is too close to the lower hose. Got a new US made pump from Zip.

Just finished replacing the faded carpet in my 67 Coupe. The original carpet was in like new condition except faded and while it was out I had a seam in the drivers seat that came undone about 2" long so I just replaced the seat covers on both sides. The old covers were original and in like new condition but while the seats were out why not just replace them also. Carpet was not bad but the seats, I would not want to do it for a living.

Replaced the wiper arms and blades on my 67 coupe. Then on to my M923a2 5 ton. Replaced fuel line to injector pump and it fires off fast now that it doesn't loose its prime. The 5 ton sure makes my 67 look small. To windy here the last several days to drive, 30-40 mph winds with gusts to 45.

I am getting close to the end of my winter to do list. I still have the dash out since the speedometer needed repair. Today I removed the glove box and clock so that I could get to the speaker easier. I removed the speaker & will replace it this week. Before that I will try to slow the water leaks down up front. I hope to get it all back together this week or next. When it is back together I will take it to the shop for line up and carb check.
My driving season will start as soon as the rains wash the salt off our roads.
