why are you keeping the back seats?? if this going to be 9 seconda then it's gonna need a cage anyway correct??

 

Correct, but... there is a "was" in there lol. Once i started investing most of my money into the car I realized if i were to mess anything up I wouldn't have enough to fix it and it would sit. I think down the road i will try to accomplish the 9's once I have a bit saved up.

 

How did all the interior parts come out? Does it smell bad in the car now and does it chip off easily?

 

Sorry, Its cracked, broken, and painted over.


And 1siksc, I added you on facebook, excited to see the progress!!

Thanks,
Rick

 

The parts came out great, once I have my car back home I will throw all the interior back in and take few pictures for everyone. They don't really smell, except for the fabric dye paint, that was a fail. Most of the fabric came out ruff color looked good and it did kinda have a smell to it.

Sounds good Rick, I look forward to seeing some of your SC's progress too.

 

Need more updates!

So you don't think the carpet dye is worth it? I was just going to buy all new black carpet from Lexus (like $700 I think) if the dye sucks.

 

I'm sorry i did more research when you asked, I purchased fabric paint. The leather though is dye spray on, fabric dye you use a trash can and leave your fabric in soaking for 12 hours. I will dye my carpeting and let everyone know how it goes.

As for update, i worked on a computer job all morning so i wasn't able to touch my car. I did though deliver all fabric pieces that are getting redone to the upholster, something funny there computer has a virus so i ended up bartering with them.

 

Lol nice, barter is the best way to save some cash! Let us know how the carpet dye works out, I don't really want to drop 7bills on some stock carpet!

 

the ritz dye works great but you will need to leave it in there longer than 12 hrs. the longer the better with a high concentration of dye to water ratio. if my trashcan didnt leak on me it wouldve only taken a week but two trashcans and 30 some what bottles of dye later the carpet looks oem.

 

Worked on it a bit more today I will have some more pictures tomorrow, hoping to have the rear in primer this weekend.

 

Here are the photos from the 4th, i will be working on the car more tomorrow too.
Finished Patching the rust spots, then filled with some Body Filler but still need to smooth out.


Seal out, which is a rust proofing liquid applied to both rear quarter panels.

 

Keep the pics coming

 

loving the updates of ur car keep it coming for us !

 

Good work.

 

Thanks guys! I am still hoping to get a day to be able to work on it instead of just a couple hours here and there.

Today i pretty much wraped up the drivers wheel well, aentenna patch needs to be final sanded and check then the passengers wheel well just needs final sand and check aswell...
