actually the two tones were done at an upholstery shop near me. depending on where u are in nj i think it would be worth the drive. They were only $500 for the set and they were done 3 years ago by the PO but i have the receipt

Actually I would be really interested in the name of that shop I live just outside PA on the boarder of NJ and am always traveling through to Pittsburgh about once a month, so it would definitly be worth it, if they look anything as good as yours turned out for that price.

Yea. I figured since the engine has low compression might as well pull it off the road and mate a turbo engine to the rest of the TII drivetrain thats already in there.

Definitely want to keep it clean. Hoping to have it done by next June.

Pretty set on the widebody. Unless you can sway me away from it.

going for a similar look to this car with different rims, seats, and a few other details.

driving in the car as-is feels like you are in a fish bowl, everyone looking at you.
Widebody just seems like one of those things you will have to refresh every few years, definitly bad *** though if your ready for the commitment

Looks good. I think the window tint and rims helps pull mine together a little more. could be just me loving my car too.

I can handle the commitment of a widebody. Especially since with the setup i want to go with for the engine it will only be driven once a week or so.



And of course it will be getting some track time. No since to build a fast and functioning car if you arent going to use it to the fullest potential.
