The driver seat in the has been showing its age for awhile. I did not have the funds at the moment for a professional upholstery fix so I desided to give Seat Doctors Leather Dye kit a try. Got some leather cleaner and a 50/50 iso mix and cleaned..and cleaned....and then cleaned again. Sanded with 320, cleaned again. Then put on 3 coats of the crack filler, then 3 coats of the color matched leather dye and finished up with a satin leather sealer.

Are they brand new showroom seats again. No. Are they way, way better then what i started with . 💯%
I am super happy they way it turned out. I would recommend Seat Doctors Leather Dye to anyone looking to improve and repair their leather seats without breaking the bank.

SCCA Lenapehoking 2026 Road Rally Weekend. Two days of great roads in and around Lancaster County, PA. Day 1 was a National Course Rally. Normally we struggle hard on trap rallies , but we got over the hump and took 1st in Class. Day 2 was a Divisional Tour Rally. We do really well at TSD rallies and took 1st in Class on day 2 as well!! Weather was beautiful if a bit hot and the roads and scenery were great. Only real hiccup was the throwing a evap code the morning of day one, so the old girl was in limp mode the whole time. Never the less the car did great and with our spring and summer rallies out of the way she will be getting a bunch of Sti and overtakeusa parts that I have had waiting for some down time on the car.

Everything take much longer then it should around here. I can not even remember what year I started framing out my garage/shop. I told myself when the final 4x8 went up I was going to buy a AC unit and hang my shop banner. Well...today was the day! AC is cranked to the max and the banner is up! Looking snazzy.😁

Small progress today on the Baja Final Form project. Old 20 year old bulbs out and new ones in and for the first time in a long time this switch is fully operational!!! Process was simple yet does take a delicate touch. Ill have a video out soon going over what i did.

While working on the Baja Final Form project, tried to test the heated seats switches in my 00 Outback. As with most switches of this vintage from Subaru the tiny bulbs are dead. NILES Japan made the switches and after some searching found some replacement bulbs. Think im going to need a magnifier glass for this.😏

In an effort to prep the Baja for its Final Form I wanted to add the full leather power and heated seats. Got a set of seats from a parts car and got this 04 outback wiring harness off ebay. After a few hours of de-pinning and cutting i got it trimmed to to just about what i need. Waiting on some new bulbs for the switches and then can test everything before install. Ill have a video posted at something with the process.
