It does need some interior work but I have rebuilt the seat boxes and have re-mounted the seat back. The seat bottoms need to be attached to the new boxes.

I know they were uploaded because the number of media changed to reflect the number I uploaded. I tried Firefox, Chrome and MS Edge with the same result, and I get a message that “There has been a critical error on this website.” on the media page.

On the orange peel – clay bar and some elbow grease.  Just think of it like you would if you had to sand off the clear coat. If you wanted to get there quicker you could wet sand with a 600 and then clay bar.
