Last summer I started to fix original seats.
Leather had a lot of damage. They´ve been repaired some many many years ago, and I found some leather paint too...

Frames needed cleaning and new paint. Cushions are still in good condition.

There are some issues...

Oh that dirt...

Under seat everything is OK, but very dirty. I have saved some springs from previous seats jobs.
Forgot that power control unit did not work.

Power issue was fixed... wires were loose.

Drivers seat had been repaired alot, but still it needs most attention.

Someone had broken its switch. Put all parts together and... it worked as new.

Drivers seat cushion was a mess..

The other looks much better.

More issues to be fixed.

This was hiding under leather. Not so bad.

Drivers seat had a lot of rust...
![](https://jaatiedostosi.com/juhapih/sundancer/IMG_0903.jpg)
Aaarrrgghh....

Have done this before, so it was an easy job. Now there is something that AMC forgot... primer.

After a days job, they all were in good condition. Just one spring replaced.

Driverseat needed a lot of attention...
Springs first. And then I fixed ends of those wires. Replaced rotten carboard twine by rubber tube...

New material...

And more... hog rings secured cushion.

And more new material.

Then it was time to remove those 4 door seats...and rotten original carpet.
![](https://jaatiedostosi.com/juhapih/sundancer/IMG_1050.jpg)
Carpet was dry, but shot.

Under carper it was dry too, but there has been water...

Found the first hole... there has been a screw and rusted through...
![](https://jaatiedostosi.com/juhapih/sundancer/IMG_1052.jpg)
Found more pinholes... that 2x4 beam is under there...
Added some phosporic acid to remove test of rust...
![](https://jaatiedostosi.com/juhapih/sundancer/IMG_1054.jpg)
The other side had marks of that 2x4 beam too. Welding had left some burnt paint and surface rust. :'(
Once the jack has pushed floor up...

And after that this stopped. I could´t by any carpet material from finnish suppliers! Lower edges of front seats need Saddle color cutpile carpet.
And Auto Custom Carpet didn´t sell any if you don´t order it with a precut carpet! So... what to do? It was about christmas time, when I ordered a new carpet to my AMC Matador Coupe from ACC. And with that I could buy a piece of right material. So far, so good. My friend had a car coming to Finland, so this carpet and much more stuff began to float across the bond to us... Now that container is in Bremenhaven, Germany. We had a stike here in Finland, so containers stopped there... Do not know when I´ll get my stuff...
But Now back to the business... I had a new carpet. So today it was time to do something about that...
Made a piece of new sound mat.

Rear seat first. Found missing plugs from my parts Hornet. Painted that floor a couple of weeks ago...
![](https://jaatiedostosi.com/juhapih/sundancer/IMG_1561.jpg)
New material here.

New carpet is a little curvy... It was out of its package for six months...
![](https://jaatiedostosi.com/juhapih/sundancer/IMG_1563.jpg)
I had to put those 4 door Concord seats back...
![](https://jaatiedostosi.com/juhapih/sundancer/IMG_1564.jpg)
And after few hours of labour, job is done.

To be continued... soon, I hope...
