Facelifting finished - Seats are finally working


Facelift

I spent a couple of days in Geralds Garage, working on the Pimperado.
The facelift is now finished -- some parts were changed back from gold to chrome like the headlight bezel and some interior parts.

Seats work!

We also finally managed to get the power seats working. The leather seats came from an 1980 Eldorado and did not work when I installed them into my car.
Nobody managed to fix them. I had my car at 3 different Cadillac dealers and a couple of auto electricians but nobody could make them work. It took me 10 years now and finally they work as they should. Gerald and I made them work perfectly. I´m very proud that we managed to fix what the experts couldn´t. The reason they did not work, was that the switch design and some wiring was changed from 1980 to 1981. Studying the shop manual very closely, we replaced the wiring and the switch-- and voila, perfect smooth operation. The wiring and switch came from Arizona Vintage Parts - a great source for Cadillac Parts.
