I'm working through the last of the A/C and interior project simultaneously but will keep the posts independent. Over the last few nights, I've been working through putting things together after work. I'm getting really close and could have the car entirely back together by the end of this weekend.
In order to move the radiator enough to get the condenser installed, I removed the battery and battery tray. This was a good time to go ahead and install a new negative battery cable. The previous owner purchased a set of new cables but only put on the positive cable. I'm not sure why but he was missing the retaining nut so I had to reuse the old one. Otherwise, it was far easier to do now as the grown bolt was accessible from the top of the engine since a/c compressor and associated bracket are out of the car.
I then turned my attention back to the seats. I cleaned the rust from the back feet a week ago. However, there was some very light spots of rust to address on the front mounting points. As with the rear mounting points, I coated these with Krylon Rusty Metal Primary and then some Matte Black paint. Additionally, I soaked all the bolts in Evapo-Rust and coated them with the same paint.
I spent some time working on the passenger rear floorboard as it has some surface rust. I originally tried to address it by using rags soaked in Evapo-Rust which was of some benefit. I then coated the area with Eastwood's Rust Converter. After allowing the Rust Converter to work overnight, I coated it with Eastwood's Rust Encapsulator to finish off the job.
