Default Need some advice on certain issues

Hello all. I have had my 96 850 turbo sedan for little over a year now. I have made a few key repairs as of now but I have a few problems that I still need address.


1.) severely cracked driver and passenger seats. Any place to buy new ones or any credible seat cover websites?

2.) the car rides rough as hell. I believe that the original struts and shocks are still installed. With new suspension, how does this car handle?

3.) to coincide with that, the car makes an attrocious sound when I pull the wheel to the extremes.

4.) lately when the car starts it initially revs up to a little over 2k Rpms then falls back down to 1.

5.) anyone know generally how much a good paint job costs for an 850 all over?

6.) my sunroof leaks during heavy rains. It seems like where the rubber liner meets after looping around the glass has selerated a bit. I put glue in, but it's a temporary fix. Anyone have, this problem/solution?

7.) my dash is severely warped at the upper section of where the pad of the airbag meets the rest of the dash. I have tried to glue this down but to no avail. Anyone know of a fix or a place to buy

8.) I was also wondering if anyone can recommend any good trunk organizers for keeping tools and such?



Thanks guys!
