But first, for the first time did the Ranger method for replacing the clutch fluid (went easier then I anticipated). Then cleaned the drivers side udders (passenger was done last fall). Then vacuumed/air pressured sprayed/water spayed with detergent/air sprayed again/ the radiator, and finally put screen on bottom of radiator. Now ready to for the season.

I did the Seat cushion repair Kit to my driver seat. Night and day difference now my *** is not sinking into the seat and feeling those wires. Found $1.53 in change while doing it.
Put on some Cover king Seat covers to cover up the wrinkles in my seats. Put in the Black/Red ones.

I am completely redoing my seats with new foam, leather and have done this as a preventative measure. My seat bottom isn't meeting up at the back like it should. It is like it has too much stuffing with the repair kit and new foam.

Mine was the not the full foam just the repair kit with 2 small blocks, 2 large blocks, piece of burlap and a thin sheet of fabric.
The 2 small ones where put into the space near front of the frame before the bolts. The two large ones the instructions said would fit right in but the instructions were for C6 vette you could tell. I placed them somewhat to what the instructions said. Glued everything in and zip tided. Seat cushion went back into place no issue. Seat cover went back on no issue.
All my wires were deeply imbedded into the foam.
The repair kit is a temp solution not a perm as the side rails is still tearing into the old cushion on the side bolsters.

Did a lot this weekend, finally received my TPMS sensors, so I put my C7 19/18 Z51 wheels on.. I have to say it looks awesome. totally changed the look of the car. I cant access photobucket on my work computer, so if someone can suggest another photosharing sight or post them for me ill share. otherwise ill do it when I get home.
put my 160 thermostat on as well, and did the clutch fluid change.
I noticed my rear sway bar end link bushings were totally rotten/trashed when I had my rear wheels off, so I ordered them today, also have my TPS attack short shifter ordered, so ill be putting all that on in the next week or two also.

Prepping for the BBS wheel swap. Ignore the potato quality pics. The car can sit on these until the new wheels have the tires mounted. Everyone hates the wagon wheels, but admittedly I like these more than I should, and probably more than the thin spokes I had on it when I purchased it.
The BBS should be swapped over tomorrow so we will see when I get those on.
