Got the seat covered - a friend who's currently overseas for work saw me post on Facebook and gave me the code to his garage so I could borrow his welder. Just need to get a headlight and get the rear fender fastener situation figured out (Help me out!!) and it's DONE.

I took it for a ride around the neighborhood and smoked up the place pretty good. I took it easy as I still have to actually attach the license plate, plus I don't want my neighbors hating me too much.
