Whatever, no skyline for j00.

who said i wouldnt get one? im currently working on it

How hard is it to find interior pieces for FB's? I would think that most of them are in bad condition?

And why not have an upholstery shop do the roof liner? I think that would be your best bet.

I like all 3 gen's of 7's, I am torn between all of them!

oh i can redo the liner and doors and so on myself. its just what material to use for the dash and the roofliner. if i go with suede it will be rather expensive. vinyl is tacky. not a fan of the way leather looks...... so idk. im currently redoing the interior on a 240sx its turning out really well.

as for pieces yeah they arent terribly easy to come by. so ill just keep piecing shit together as i see it

How much is suede per square foot/yard? Can't be that bad. FB roof is not much area from what I recall. Could be wrong?

That's one thing I hate about FB's, parts are hard to come by unlike FD's and FC's.

it was like $17 a yard (and the fabric was like 56 inches tall)
on second thought i guess it wouldnt be that bad. the doors will cost more than the roof i guess.

idk all in due time. i dont want to like just do the roof and nothing else it might look a bit odd you know?

He cant hit it like i can hit it.

:dunno:

lol your right he is actually good.......

I was here for the buttsex.

OMFG! New sig!


And yes, I know what you mean about doing stuff in sections, especially an interior. I would rather gather everything up, take however long it takes and knock it all out.

right thats why the body pieces i posted today have been a couple month long project. well that and every time i get somewhere on it something else seems to come up that i need to finish asap and i have to put it off.

And why the flat black and gold combination? That seems....odd?

mostly because of the plans i have for later. and i dont want to have to repaint this shit. but i like the way it looks.

I see.

No major motorwork?

not yet. waiting to see what comes in the container from japan in a few weeks.

You can't be posting subject lines like that and NOT include a pic!
Hell, I'd settle for a photochop pic right now...

I been 'yella for 24 years, no complaints here

Jenn, so that's your plan on making it back from TJ. . . . .? i mean, painting yourself yellow and calling yourself Asian after the "A-pass" i granted you a few days ago is a good idea. . . but i don't think it'll work. . . :(


:lol:

i need to spray again tomorrow so ill take a pic then just for you

thats just cuz you dont know any better sweetie

ha ha this from the one that wanted me to do body work for him.....

Small suggestion on your headliner. Go to a fabric store ( I go to Joann Fabrics a lot) and buy some headliner fabric. It is cloth with about a 1/4" of gray foam on the back of it. It is actually called headliner fabric on the roll. It comes in about 10-12 different colors, and there should be one that matches fairly well. Use some 3M super 77 spray adhesive to glue it to the headliner. I did this in my 85 GS and it turned out pretty good.

BTW, some 1st gens also came with a vinyl headliner. My 83 GS has a very nice black vinyl headliner. At first I wasn't too fond of it, but now I like it better than cloth. It has held up way better than cloth usually does. It still looks like brand new even after 25 years. All I have to do is give it a shot of vinyl/leather protectant and you'd think it's a new car...

Good luck! :bigthumb:

yeah mine is tan vinyl stock. and it still in great shape.

problem being im switching the interior over to black ultimately. like i said im collecting black pieces till i have everything then ill do the switch. im not in any rush and the car isnt going anywhere. and i have enough other project that i need to finish that this isnt the top priority.

i found it is cheaper to go to an auto upholstery place rather than a retail fabric store like jo-ann fabric of yardage town or something of that nature.

for a yard of black micro-suede at jo-ann fabric is was something like $24 a yard and from an auto upholstery place it was like $17 a yard.
