    Rebuilding seats with leather from furniture and extra padding. Might put leather on the dash and other interior parts.
    I think I would try disconnect injector fuse then crank it over a few time to get the pump primed. When I did mine I packed the pump with vasoline to help prime it, and that worked very well.
