So I decided to tackle the seat cover this morning (and part of last night).
Hog rings are a bitch, and LMC sucks for putting such ****** hog ring pliers in the box. If you do this, I'd suggest getting a decent set. Any set except those, really. Lol
I rebuilt the foam using a $6 4 pack of high density seat cushion foam from Walmart. It worked GREAT and the consistency is perfect. I built it up nicely (under the cushion split) but it was a bit of a bear getting the cover on afterwards.
Nice and firm now, though.
I cleaned the frame, and I cleaned/wire brushed/painted the hinges and tracks, too.
I ended up finding a crack in the seat back frame and welded that up, too. Nice and solid and clean now!
I'm happy with how it turned out, and it feels much nicer to sit on.
