yea so i had destroyed tan leather seats in the fd, definitely not comfy enough to sit on, but they were alright until i could replace them.



Last week i scored some nice black suede r2 seats with rails and everything for $325 picked up locally. Seats have a very minor rip on pass right side bolster, could repair it with a needle and thread but no biggie.



pics ho!

next up is a new steering wheel (already got my new cluster) and then i finish the methanol and 2nd fuel pump install and then it's exterior time, and then fin.

nice seats!

 

my new steering wheel is on it's way, sparco piece with full hub and modified clockspring etc, $200 shipped. my stock wheel was disintegrating slowly lol.



was gonna jump for a full black carpet for $250, but i'll pass for now.



best score for the FD so far was a mint condition rear r1 non-bose black carpet for $50, seller had no idea what he had

when r u gonna finish ur yellow car?

 

it's finished, just havent done the exhaust so no can drive it.



plus i feel like im going to be selling the fd eventually so i want it finalized asap. altho i doubt ill sell it.

haha, your FD looks like pauls now! except he got base model seats.... and his FD is more broken

 

not for long just ordered feed front bumper (and authentic feed lights and lenses), feed front fenders, feed sideskirts, re-a rear street diffuser



basically this exact combo except it will be white and i havent decided on lip rolling or not (more up to rob lol) and i can get a pic of the diffuser if anyone wants. its not the kind that hangs down like a tray, it looks almost oem when done right, molds to the bottom of the stock rear bumper.







edit: just noticed that car even has my headlight scoop lol. let's see, $325, $200, $696, $1610 = $2831, there's my economic stimulus for obama. best part is this car is still cheaper then my fc so far so i still call it my budget buildup to people who then look at me crosseyed
