ok i need your opinion on my seats
ok i am on a tight budget like 90% of you guys on here. so i was writing out all of my plans for my car and what i wanted and what i needed. So today my wife and i went out after church and we wanted to go pumpkin picking with the family and we had about an hour to kill. we took a trip to sonic for some slushies and a advance auto parts store was there. i said perfect i need some paint. we walked in and my wife pointed out something. i looked and it was seat covers she says to me "i know you really want to do other things to your car why not just buy these seat covers for now and focus on getting the car road worthy?" i looked at her and thought about it and i said "i have to think about that."
so my question to you guys is should i buy those seat covers for now? the cost of the seat covers for front and back was $45. and here is the list of what i need to get my car on the road: posi unit in the rear (currently a spool rear) rear gears (currently 4.11) sending unit fuel line brakes (rear drum rebuild and front disc replace and rebuild) exhaust system from the header back dash harness engine harness front light harness inner fender battery tray battery so i ask are those other things more important to get finish and then do the seat? or buy the seat and do it while i am working on the interior? goal is for june of 2012 to have the chevelle on the road and at the rate i am going per month i am putting aside $300 for parts so what do you think?

I would take the junk food expense out of my monthly budget and get the car done sooner! ..... get some mexican blankets and "repurpose" them when you get the real deal if you need something decent to sit on for now.

If they're just slip on covers and only $45 I say go for it. When you have the time and money to recover the seats then do it. You can only do so much and spend so much, have to pick and choose.

I would first buy the parts needed to get the car roadworthy. You can buy seat covers anytime.

it will have seats they are just UGLY right now all cracked and just down right ugly. but they are solid. so i was going to just clean them and then cover them for now. like i said i am not worried about paint and stuff i know i have no more rust anywhere around the car. i really cant wait to take my rear end off and start taking it apart! but i want to get my parts together first before i do it
