WARTYM

have just droped the setas off to get retrimed in a cream vinyl, including the front ones

now what do you guys think, have the whole seat in a simple cream vinyl ?

apply a orange piping around the outside of the seat like this:

or apply a orange prping around the outside and inside where the material joins like this:

the back seat will me in matching cream vinyl is well with the lines going down the middle like the front seats....

what do you guys think ?

they are mk2 escort seats from my mates escort, i was thinking of repainting them white or cream ? i dont think i will be using those other seats as they are fabric and will cost too much to recover them, so its either these or if someone can recommend me something else or white vinyl bucket seats...

thought i had blown the turbo and done some damage to the pistons, but all it was was that the flywheel had come loose haha, all fixed and the engine is back into the bay.

got some new seats, what do you guys think ?

whats your guys opinion on these seats ? i'll be getting the back retrimmed to match the front seats anyway...

yeah but its not perfect thou as i didnt want to pay 15k+ for the panel and paint, if the end i prob went over my panel and paint budget heaps thou, but oh well

just waiting on a water inlet piece for the engine that is ex-japan, 280bux for it 3week wait

looking at buying a mk2 escort or something and looking for someone to paint it. so anyone whos keen to paint it either at my place or at theirs, i will/can strip the car and could help with sanding/panel work.

let me know asap. 0277816049 or reply to this

Back in march 2008

1 month for panel work then after that paint then engine work !!

hahaha famous last words

ah well selected the colour and stuff so should see it go into the paint booth sometime this week

Long time no update so here we go..

intercooler mounted and piping all done

Went for a cert in between

Rear seat failed

Need Lapbelts for rear seat

Driveshaft Loop

Wheels and Tyres to be confirmed

Brakes To be rechecked once finshed

And everything else passed Yay!!

what it looks like now

isnt too bad i guess,

started cut and polishing the front half of the car with re-po stuff and came out pretty mint

Beware rust behind front guards/top of door pillar, not easy to fix.

luckly i have no rust in those areas

pull out all carpets and throw away the underlay shit as it will all be rotten.

Fuck mate, you know how to make work for yourself lol, were there no good bodied ones around?

ooo might pull all the carpet out all together !

it shouldnt be too hard to replace the rust with good steel, maybe a weekends job if done slowly

whats a good way to get rid of the old musty car smell ?

i fucking hate that smell !!

viewtopic.php?f=17&t=17658

well i got it today pictures in my build thread, what do you guys think ?

When putting into reverse, big loud gear against gear grinding noise and big loud clunk as if the whole gearbox/drive line got ramed from 1st to reverse

more rusted than i expected

very bad smell from the interior and the engine

other than that it does nice drifts

havent taken on the road yet so i dont know, but the bad smell is really pissing me off!!!

I think people might have a hard time figuring out what you mean by right.

I also think perhaps you mean you want to copy joe.

by right i mean filling out the guards, and not rubbing when lowered.

My inspiration (Not Copying) was/is Snoozin's triumph now xploits off nzhondas

not after modgies

iv brought my self an 77 truimph 2500 tc

now im in the market for some oldschool rims,

i understand the stud pattern is 4x114 (yipiee )

now what would be the ideal size/width/offset to suit it ?

long gear knob, dildo gear knob, glass gear knob, ect...

$85 !!

think im prob gonna wait till thursday, rather pay $141 than $250

$150 plus costs and I think you could find someone to do it hah. Get them to keep receipts etc, but would likely be cheaper chucking it on a truck.

the transport company gave me a price of $141 incl gst to pick my car up from massey auckland and drop off in morrinsville, but i'll have to wait till thursday next week, but i just cant wait that long haha

i cant afford a $400 fine if i get caught,

the cond of the car will not make it blend in with traffic lol
