I've got a 17 inch set of Fikse Mch 5s that I would part with. If you not interested, are you still doing polishing?

Thanks,
Mike

Slick looking black zinc coated rotors with the freshly painted calipers

Wow, they look almost brand new

So this past week I started in on the interior. The plan in short, replace the 93 plastics with 94 plastics. Re-upholster the res, clean the carpet and get rid of evidence of Vintage Red paint. Since this is a street car I'm going to dynomat this joker too for the bitching iPad mini & sound system I'm going to install to eventually.

So here she is with the seats out.

Finally found something to use an iPhone panoramic picture for.

I did pretty good getting all of this shit off the car. I was a little hasty and cracked my drivers side A pillar and totally destroyed the hood taking it out. I didn't feel too bad though since I could tell it was already removed before and had some damage with the tabs. No a big deal though since I am going to get some different plastic anyhow, With a little help from my friends..

I pulled the carpet out last. I found two quarters so it wasn't all work.

It was pretty nasty when I got it out. This is even after I spent all that time cleaning it the day I drove it home. Amazing how dirty carpet can get parked in the garage.

Hauled it to the local $5 wash and pinned it to the outside matt hangers and went to town with some high pressure wash and high pressure rinse. Someone died in the rear passenger seat area. I must have cleaned a quart of some dark red crap from that corner of the carper.

Next was to reseal the inside with some low sheen black. I kept this modestly pedestrian, I painted around the parts as best I could without removed any extra shit that was in the way. No need to get stupid on this restore....

Then started rolling in dynomat and insulted the tunnel with some DEI.

Not sure I'll appreciate this as much in the winter. But most definitely will around Memorial day weekend. I'm not sure how well this will work. Right off the bat, I still hope to get the USDM tranny panel from Goodfella. This JDM one has the arm rest spot on the wrong side. I'm not sure the front of the tunnel will match up, so I'll be the guinea pig on this. Only cost me a couple hundred bucks anyway.

Tomorrow, I'm dropping these worn dogs off with Austin here in Maryland to re-upholster then with in Suede. The headliner, seats, A pillars and this Stubby JDM Tunnel cover I just scored are all being done in some Ala-someshit high end suede. Should be sweet!

JDM piece I scored a few days ago..

Are you adding rear seats?

Great work, love that blue!

Wow..... Amazing find and amazing work you have done!!!!


Did you paint everything inside your garage?

Getting there ;) - Will be mint when its done.

Shamefully the RHD centre console will not fit with the LHD dash.

No on the rear seats, just looking for something different. If the front of this lines up, I'll need to get a small carpet cover made like the one that covers the E brake mount to cover the spot that holds the USDM tunnel in place at the rear. As you are hinting at the carpet will be exposed between this JDM piece and the bins.

Painted it right as it sits on the jack stands. The doors, fenders, hood and hatch were done on fold out stands.

I have a feeling you're right. I wanted to see how this could possibly work out. I might do some splicing of the two pieces to make something work. My fiberglass skills are strong.

Very nice work and progress! I'm impressed how well this build is turning out.

What kind of paint did you use on the floor?

And where'd you get those slick looking rotors?

The paint is plain rustoleum in flat black. I bought quart and sprayed it.

The rotors are Hart brand off eBay.

crazy build, keep it up and love the documentation.

FD3BOOST if you need some little pieces here and there I run a JDM shop in Norther VA. I just thought I would lend my resources if I might have anything you need give me a shout. I have been following your thread for a few weeks now and this is very impressive. Just PM me if I can be of any assistance.

Keep up the good work.

NIIIIIIICE!!!

How or with what did you cover all your tools and such? It seems like you have limited space on the left side for paint.

Space was tight on the right side. I had it well lit though so it worked out fine. It doesn't create as much overspray as you would think. It wasn't an issue.

Will be contacting you!

Love this build. Car looks amazing.

You're too kind!

I'll have updates this weekend. Moving forward all the time. Seats, A pillars, and the headliner are all at the upholstery shop getting hooked up with new suede.
