My 81 DMC sat from 1985 to 1997 untouched, but I when I bought it I found that the dash is covered since it went from gray to brown/black, but the rest isn't in bad shape. I want to re dye the seats for now since I'm still dealing with mechanical problems and want to save some money before replacing seats, dash, door panels, etc., but the seats are pretty cracked, the only real damage is a sun mark on the driver door no larger then a quarter and not very noticeable, and the stitch on the passenger door is coming a part. Would the covers be ok to take off, I have asked this to a few restoration shops and have gotten conflicting answers. Also my car was in a garage for almost a year and was damaged more then fixed. The doors had almost brand new struts but I was told the driver door gave out and the strut was replaced, however it has a sort of limp to it. It opens only with help and needs you to hold it in position or it droops down a bit. Is this the torsion bar or faulty strut? thanks, Darryl 5898 [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
