What did you do to your foxbody mustang today?

[Bdubbs]

Do you have a rear set to match? Those look a bit different from the ones in the car now. At least comparing them to this photo. Maybe it's just the photo that makes those new seats look different. ??

They are different. My current car has black interior. The other ones are grey. I bought them somewhat local a few years ago. I think I paid 300 dollars for them.

Fit new flow tubes (short pipes from cat to muffler) on a 17k mile 92. They were rusted out. My speculation is prior owner(s) used the "let's idle it every month to warm up" and got the exhaust wet every time causing the rust from the inside out. Probably will be revisiting this, as the rust is elsewhere too, but, flowmaster is B/O on the exhaust until late January +, learning this AFTER they accepted my order with a 2 week delivery, back in November. I cancelled and went a different direction only replacing the flow tubes. Clamps are the last step, and those should arrive today.

What Flowmaster exhaust were you trying to order? I just received my Flowmaster american thunders today. Seller on ebay had the best price and super fast shipping.

You only have the gray front seats? Or front and rear?

I got it out on a pretty day and went to visit my mom for her birthday

Was trying to get a stainless version. Again I ordered it, the availability said 2 weeks, I was OK with this). Then over 2 weeks went by, I reached out (no notification from them, I had to reach out), then the date changed to 2 months later. I did not like the way they handled it, so I cancelled, and went a different direction. My alt direction will be done today.

Are you okay with the fronts not matching the rear, or do you have additional plans with the seats.

That's a low mileage '92, Andy. Nice. How long have you owned it?

I bought the seats with really no plans for them. It's hard to find foxbody seats in this condition in my area. So I bought them.

@13BlackGT, that's a real nice coupe!

Looks like my alternator in my 92 coupe took a dump on me. Drains the battery over night, did this to a fresh battery too. I'm think bad diode or internal short. Multimeter reads a 4 Amp parasitic draw, about 0.01 Amp when you unplug the alternator connections. Going to try to keep it OEM 75 Amp Motorcraft unit, we'll see how that works out.

Ah, now I understand. An opportunity lost is, well.....an opportunity lost. Especially when the object of the opportunity is in such great condtion. Well done, Brady.

Starting to clean my spare seats before I do the black seats in the 93.

@Bdubbs, that looks great. It's amazing how well these fox body tweed seats clean up and the fabric is also super durable. People are willing to pay very good money for these seats in the shape you have them.

When I bought my coupe a few years ago, the black tweed front seats were filthy and the foam was totally worn out. I cleaned them really good and then had a local car upholstery guy put in new foam and fix some of the side vinyl that was torn. They turned out great.

I want Ford to build a retro fox body and it has to include the original tweed cloth seat material. One can still dream...

Finished them up tonight. The seat on the left was just completed in the pictures, so it looks a little darker. Pretty impressed with the Bissell spot clean pro so far.

Next up will be the seats in the Reef Blue.

Looks fantastic. I’ve been searching for some cloth opal seats all year. Whenever some pop up they are ragged out. I have a set of leather and also new replacement leather covers to put on, but honestly would prefer the cloth..

If I land some I’m going to ask you for cleaning pointers. Good job on those seats!

They came out really good, Brady. Yeah, that Bissell did/does a great job!

Thanks! Overall they are in great shape. No rips or tears. The vinyl sides do have discoloration.

Next I plan on cleaning the black seats in the 93.
