November 2015
Got the neighbour to skip the discs at his workshop for free. Used my old rear discs, but they were the wrong size for the RC. So many little differences
Needed to get the bonnet, bumper and guards painted, so loaded up parts and took them to the panel beater.
And why is the RC called Pearl? Because of the pearl paint
Needed to repair the drivers seat. I found a Celica up at Pick A Part with the confetti pattern, but the drivers seat was pretty crap. So I decided to take the passenger seat and swap material and possibly foam over.
Following pictures go through the disassembly and reassembly of the seat step by step. Will add little notes where I think appropriate.
Take headrests off.
You're left with bracket attached to the main plastic cover
Disassemble underside of seat
Seat bolster and material destroyed from years of use
