    [ATTACH=CONFIG]25174[/ATTACHSome of you asked about the interior so I've posted a few pics of where she lives.
    Nothing unusual here until one considers the car is 33 years old with 370K miles and a
    daily driver.
    I changed the oil about every 8K miles. All the carpet and interior components are original except
    for the seats and the driver's side carpet which could stand replacing again. I swapped the seats about every 40K
    to make them wear evenly. I use ArmorAll about every 6 months.

    waaaaat??????
    OMG!
    How many cars look like that after so many years / miles?

    When you sawp the seats, you only swap the seatback or the whole seat? It is pretty easy to flip the backside forward even with the handle at the centre of the car.

    I know! I am shocked the entire interior has zero cracks, browning, or sun deformation. That's pretty impressive for a car that's been driven 370,000 miles. There are DeLoreans with 3,700 miles that don't look this nice inside.

    Congrats on getting the car back, Jack. I hope you recover soon so you can enjoy put another 370,000 miles on it.

    The interesting thing here is I never used a dashmat. The car is always garaged and is covered on the rare nights left outside.
    Does anyone here think JZD had a good idea?

    I swap the whole seat. You can do it with no modifications. Of course making any adjustments is tough
    with the wheel jammed against the console. I make a one time setting on the driver's seat since
    no one else drives my car. I also make a one time setting on the passenger seat and leave it there.

    Must be nice Jack. I have found that Malvern Ave during working hours is a pretty relaxing fun drive.
