Trying to put Humpty back together again

Trying to put Humpty back together again
As I have stated in previous posts,
I am not tech savvy at all.
Since my phone and computer
do not talk to each other, I found a way around it.
I recently recovered my headliner
(removing seats, console, shifter and door),
but before I reassemble the car - I have to repair some things before I do.
The passenger seat had a power head rest that did not work.
I did not know I had to remove everything before I could replace it.
I touched the lumbar bag tube - that broke.
the plastic tube around the recline motor cable was dust.
I bought a “parts jag”, and I am stealing parts from that.
I am also putting in the picnic tables from the parts jag.
this will be more than expected.
The seat cover is different.
The seat frame is the same.
However, the seat back will need to be
reupholstered to the correct color.
I will have a glove box (cubby hole)
That too will have to have a color change.
Changing the cigarette lighters to USB ports.
Not the insert type, actually
changing the entire socket.
Stuff like that.

Sign of a true problem solver
Between the no picnic table seat back top outer edge being curved and the tabled one more square there is a cutout off the top of my head to look into before reupholstering
The tabled back shell has more squared corners that may settle into rounded front seat skin shape
There are new seat skins and not covers here :
They will supply a color sample when asked least wrong order troubles and cost

While you have the rear seat pan out , ensure you have a certain battery cable terminal tight , they come loose from reading others
On rear seat pan removal out the door , ensure you do not drag it across the door opening felt , ask me how I know
Ask questions
The battery cable terminals are under a black triangle cover in the 3rd pic
Your blue terminal ends are direct to starter connection and is also battery charging in reverse flow from the turning alternator , the yellow is to 4 fuse boxes less the trunk fuse box

Finally!
I had to cut the carpet.
V/Plas is 4” or so too long.
I seamed it under the seats.
just finished shampooing it.
I use a Bissel, so it is drying.
Sorry bout it taking so long.
After putting in 10 hrs at the job……
I have a house/yard, daily drivers and
helping other people with their projects.
I live alone. So, I get to the XJ when I can.
