Sorry to hear about the accident.

The black interior is coming together well, and the tails look great! You are doing this one up right.

Sorry about the damage man. I like the tan seat with black back/base style. It looks good.

Bartle: got some black floor mats now and it looks much better! i just cant be arsed changing the carpet though. still unsure if to keep stock seats, they are so comfortable, but heavy and have no support round corners

hopefully fixing the damage soon and getting a new custom front bar based on AC/shine:

I like your soarer its quite clean with low mileage.

Only thing is i wish you didnt SEM or 'dye' the interior, i really hate that stuff.

Good luck, keep us posted on progress

Too bad about that damage

I've gotten so good at wedging myself in place during hard cornering lol. I seriously need some bolster.

I........want....your....car. I honestly can't stop drooling, even with the bumper damage. I'm starting to get really tempted to sell my SC and start looking for an imported Soarer, even if it's another V8 and basically a rhd version of my SC, something about a jdm Soarer just screams awesome to me.
Is there anywhere here in the states that sells those Soarer door sills?

I was just thinking about that today, why didn't they make the seats a little more supportive? I understand they were going for luxury as well as performance but for me, the lack of support in the SC's seat almost make them uncomfortable, I am a pretty small guy though (5'10, 150 lbs) so maybe its just me.
Holy off topic Batman, I just needed somewhere to rant about that but I feel much better now.
