Keeping it original..what to do
I really like the idea that my seats are original to my 69 cst blazer. The passenger and the rear seat(black) have very little wear. The driver seat foam is a bit "flat" and there is a tear on one side.
Now, I know I would like to reupholster them with nice new foam and covers, but : 1) Keeping the seats original, in my mind, makes the k5 that much more valuable. Imagine, in the year 2010, having the original seats, un-adulterated. ....seems like that would be worth more than shiny new repro's. 2) I've toyed with the idea of putting these in storage(protected) and buying a second set to do with what I want. 3) Do I just keep on using the originals till they fall apart...they are old after all and have had very little use over the past decade. I guess the best way to put it is that if I was shopping for a k5, I prefer buying one that is towards the original side, rather than the restored side. Thoughts on this?
