thanks. when i first made it i took it to the local interior shop and told them i wanted it to all look one piece with fabric but when i picked it up he said that its not possible to have that much curves over the gauge pods and it be made of fabric. i could of used leather but it wouldn't of looked right.

finally rounded up all the parts needed to go after all the oil leaks. both cam seals, crank seal, new timing belt and components, and 24 valve stem seals for the oil smoke puff on start up. first thing this morning jumped off the deepend and it is alot of work. but the tool made by lisle for removing and installing the valve retainers and keepers and installing them made it soooooo easy. i will be happy when its finally leak free and no oil smoke on start up. plus peace of mind with having new timing belt and such.

at the time i was down a vehicle since my gs is my daily driver so getting it back on the road asap was utmost priority. i visually inspected the timing belt when i got it and determined it to be free of cracks or anything that would affect it from running so i planned on doing maint. later. too bad it had to happen only three months later. but i finished it up today and it seems all good.
