Fresh paint and Landers TII Conversion!
 

Whadaya'll think?

I think it's sweet as hell.

Ditto :)

If you don't mind me asking... how much did you pay for the conversion and to get it painted... as I'm hoping to do the same before the end of this year :D Paint looks really good btw... but MORE PICS :)

Thats a nice car, I'm starting to like turbo-verts more and more.

^ There awsome!

that is my dream car right there, I would almost rather a tII vert to a third gen.

Few more. Still got a bit of interior work to do. Already redid the drivers seat in 'faux' leather, passenger one is next.

Kevin already had the engine in stock, he had gotten a deal on it somewhere, so it only cost installed around $1800. Paint was $1300, I paid 1K originally for the car.
Also, I just installed and ACT street/strip clutch ALL BY MYSELF (With Kevin doing phone/email tech support).

damn 1 k for the car thats a steal

Damn man...i so got ripped off on my car :(

Trade yah! :D :D

i like it..but then I am partial to turbo verts..just look at my sig:)

Very nice. Job well done.

Thanks everyone.

Your car is very nice man. where did you get the seats redone? i'd really like to do that soon in my vert once i get her up and running (this weekend.)

Also mind if i ask about a few details on your paint job? just like basic color, how many coats, just a few details? My vert also needs a new PJ, and i hope mine looks half as good as yours does.

Kevin Landers does some great work!

There is a local 'mom and pop' uphostery shop in my area..they do incredible work. I was wondering how they would handle the speakers in the headrest, I didn't want them covered with leather, and holes in the leather are tacky as well.
They covered the speaker parts with cloth with leather in the center, very nice IMO. All for $125.00
The paint I'm not so sure about, I'll ask. I know it's 'standard GM red".. the body guy said he puts 4 coats of clear, I'm unsure of how many coats of base color.
Then, he said red doesn't always take clear very well, peels in a few years. Therefore, he mixes clear with the red. I think that's the way mine is.
Here's the headrest: Zipper is in the bottom if needed as well.

He does indeed.
BTW, expect an announcement from him on the forum very soon.....

Wow, that looks nice. I'm like 1hr30min away from Seymour and would love new upholstery. The $125 was for the whole seat or the custom work on the speakers (don't know much about re-upholstering pricing)?

HAHAHAHA dude don't say stuff like that i get way too excited to keep a calm normal head. does it have something to do with moving to minnesota????

do you know anything about this and are sworn to secrecy?


dammit now you got me all excited....

Matt:)

I'm not really sworn to secrecy..but I don't want to spoil it for him.

Wait & See....

BTW, that $125 was for the entire seat.

thanks mwpayne. damn i wanna find a good ass deal like that round here. yoru seat looks pimp and for only 125, damn that's... let me see.... only like 300 bucks for both seats to be done then! AweSum Yo!!!!!11111


and yes i was joking around. thakns for the info,
Matt:)

Full drivetrain swap too?? I'm gonna swap mine when the na engine goes.

are you talking to me?

Matt:)

No, I'm using the stock drivetrain. I'm old so it'll hold up...!

You may be old, but that clutch is young & strong.

If you keep the tire size down to 205 with a high treadwear number, the tires will slip before the tranny input gear breaks.

Looks great, congrats. Its good to see more and more people doing TII conversions on their verts.
