SooOOOoooO, I dont really have any updates right now, still wating on the BS autoparts to get me some much needed parts but heres a teaser u could say



Also I am looking for some input or opinions on interior options. I already have all the parts I need to upgrade to y2k status (gated shifter, 3-spoke wood steering wheel, gauge cluster) and will be doing the SC430 seat upgrade (thats the only thing i still need to get) so my question is color combo. I wanted to do the saddle leather but its pretty pricey and kinda of a mission to get some proper material. So I am just going to either do all black with black wood trim or I am really feeling this color combo


So this color combo but with black carpet or keep the carpet tan with black mats? Or do all black interior ? Opinions please

Keep the tan seats, carpet + mats, and make everything on top black. How universal are the SC430 seats? Will you be able to use the seat heaters?

BTW, the calipers look really good!

Thanks ma dude I cant wait to put them on my car already ....

The seats from the ones I seen i would only have to mod one mounting point but i could be wrong will have wait n see when I get the pair in front of me and I do plan on wiring it up to work like factory and yea I am thinking of leaving the carpet tan it will match the headliner as well. Also gona do somethin g like this on the door panels...
