Sounds like cleaning up those guts might be the first order of business.

Don't know if this applies to the 90s, but ... I have 2 91s: a ZR-1 with black sport seats (naturally) that have CORVETTE in white just below the headrest,
and an L98 with the standard seats with no lettering. So I don't know if the
CORVETTE lettering goes with the ZR-1 or with the sport seats. Does anyone have a 90 or 91 L98 with sport seats to check?
