Got a quote back today for blasting and powder coating the seats for the B. 165 for both frames. A doable price, and it doesn’t involve me stripping, prepping and then painting the frames.

I pulled the driver side seat out of the car this afternoon and stripped it down to the frame, removing as many of the bits and bobs as possible and bagging it all. It now joins the passenger seat I’d done previously. Tomorrow I’ll drop it off at the shop for processing. They said they’d need it for five days. That works just fine for me.

Yesterday I worked on the electrics a little, tracking down a problem with the hazard light relay. Replaced with a new one rated for LED’s, and ran a ground wire back to the spot where the old relay was mounted and used that screw for ground. Parked like a charm. Now I need to keep tracking down those other electrical problems. Not all the lights are working now. But I have a good idea what’s going on.
