'91 Civic DX -- Wanted: Blue Upholstery Fabric
Okay, I decided to keep the car. I will be moving soon and was
thinking baout buying a new Honda in my new territory, but there's
really nothing wrong with my car, except for a small tear in the seat
on the lumbar hump that gets the most friction when you get in and out.
I decided to have it repaired.
The thing is, the fabric for this car has been discontinued and we
can't find anything that comes close to matching it. We just need
about one square yard. I know that someone somewhere out there HAS TO
have this sitting on a shelf somewhere. The frabric was discontinued
after 7 years, which means it could have been around in a shop as
recently as 1998. Does anyone have any suggestions?
The fabric, according to the 1991 Leo Book, is #130167.
I have other quirks with the car I might ask about later (horn doesn't
work when it's damp out, dash lights don't work when it's cold out),
but this is my priority.
Thnaks!

Well, crabs do shed their shells you know. In fact, I love
soft shell crabs. I used duct tape under the seat covers.
Good enough. Pisces.
