Default Black Friday at Pick-and-Pull

The local junkyard had a half-off sale today. Me and my bro both found some good stuff.
He got some Dodge turbo-blade wheels, Mitsu Diamante cams, and various knick-knacks.

I, on the other hand, found only four things.
There is a black SSE in the back, hit hard in the nose, totally smashed. There'* a black guy pulling the column out and I strike up a conversation, mention the club, tell him that he should check to see if the column from a 92 will fit his 89. Help him finish pulling the column, start to walk away, stop, have stroke. Go back, look. TWO-TONE!!
Front seats trashed, back seat not great, but the door panels are OK looking. Just got to clean some mild mold off the leather, and they'll be up for grabs. May go back for the back seat, it looks salvageable.

DO NOT SEND ANY REQUESTS. I WILL POST A FOR SALE THREAD WHEN THEY ARE READY.

No, the seats were solid light grey. But they had an unusual pattern. Instead of the perforated section with the narrow sticthed sections, it had regular leather stitched in three broad stripes.

Basically, the plastic interior bits are dark gray, the leather bits and carpet are light grey.

i'd consider them, but I have a set of regular two tone grey ones already. I'll have to look at the condition of them. Also need to check out a couple in the yards here.

How bad were the seats?

Front seats were massively mildewed, and had huge holes in the leather. Back seat bottom is bent at the sides, and the leather is kind of wrinkled but may be ok. Rear seat back is in good condtioin, easliy salvageable. I'm going back tomorrow to get the rear seat.
