sr20Escort Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Mean work man. My plans are basically the same, except dropping in an sr20. Found out the car I just bought may be a bit of a lemon, will have to wait and see when I strip it down after exams. Couple questions; how much does vinyl reupholstering on the seats cost? Where'd you get your modgies from? I'm guessing you didn't pay a grand for them like some places charge, they're only steel wheels ffs How does the vinyl spray paint hold up? Any signs of wear or rubbing off? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hulse12 Posted October 2, 2012 Author Share Posted October 2, 2012 That was one of my thoughts of engines, but sticking with the original with a bit of work. I got quoted up to a grand to get my seats reupholstered, but I'm hopefully getting my mates mum to do it. I got my Modgies originally off trademe, the set with x2 14x6's and x2 14x7's for $800 (without tyres) i think. Then swapped for all round 14x6's as the 7's would rub a bit much. You can get them from all good tyre/rim shops normally.. Usally named 'Crager Quicktricks' The vinyl spray's come up mint as, have only used them on my door cards, just came up like black leather (do not get gloss black vinyl spray whatever you do haha) satin black or a dark non gloss black. Havn't had the door cards on yet, just been waiting for completion of the car Cheers, good luck with your project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
