Waiting on my bed bolts to be powder coated. So I started on stripping the seat cushion from the springs. Mess job for sure. Most of the time I'm sure seat have been destroyed by vermin and such. When I got into the bottom cushion I found what I believe to be the original burlap around the springs and remains of the original seat cover along the bottom edge of the seat frame. It was crimped onto the frame with a single long steel spring type clip.
After I got the springs stripped I sprayed them with cleaner and pressure washed them with my Hotsy. All in all there in pretty good shape. I will have to retie a few springs together and fix a few attachment bracket where the rivets are loose.
Also going to paint them to help prevent further rust and keep them cleaner. I have a new seat cover being made and am going to tackle that install soon.
