Looks like you have a good little helper there too. All I have is my lazy cat. I'm sure if and when I redo my seats, he'll be glad to keep them from floating away. lol

Hmmmm, let see. Keep cat on car seats. Thief tries to steal car and sits on sleeping cat. Cat shreaks and scares would-be thief away all while keeping the seat warm. Interesting. I shall call it the "Thief Catapult 2006" lol Oh man! I just laughed so hard I shot milk out of my nose. Disturbing though, because I'm only drinking water.

Here is a pic of the Helper and the Old Man.

Can't see much of my seat. Maybe the things have shrunk over the years, you think?! Not!!!

Maybe the seats have shrunk. And maybe I'm just getting quicker and quicker at brushing my hair in the morning. Must be, because it's taking me less and less time.

Inner Door Panels have now been preped, cleaned, filled and trimmed. Now ready for the MrMikes leather door covers. (Tomorrow)

I needed about 2 hours for the prep. In the video MrMike makes it look so simple. Well tomorrow will seperate the men from the mice.

While I don't think I'll go for the door panel leather, I do like the seats. But I think mine will just be plain black with a little "horsey" logo on them.

Good game but now you got to change the sig I figured it would be a close game, but never figured that Palmer would get hurt. I am glad the stealers won because the bengals would have never gone far without Palmer

Back to the build now

Sorry that I haven't got an update at the moment. I am working on getting my 6x9's in the doors before I finish the fiting of the panel covers.

Nice build. You doing anything with the taillights, doing round ones maybe? Can't wait to see the finished product

I really like the original taillights from the GT and will be keeping them. I am still waiting to get my suspension parts back from the painters. I don't know what the hold up is. Once I have them or have my stereo then I'll have some more updates for everyone.

This is an awesome thread, way to take the bull by the horns fiero1fan! They say pictures are worth 1000 words, but they do little to show the effort put into the project to be able to get those shots Gl with the build, and keep us updated!

------------------

We interrupt this thread to bring you this important message !

Yeaaahhh baby !!

Now back to your regular programming.

Just waiting for the speakers to come in then I can finish the doors. Let me tell you this really hurts. I am waiting for the suspension to get back and the stereo to come in. Plus I need a flywheel for an 88 (on Order also). I hate the damned waiting!!!!!!

As far as the Super Bowl, the Panthers are no more. Tis a sad day. But, because I'm on the East coast, Steelers rule!

I got a call today from the painters. I can pickup my parts on Friday!!!
The oven room had died and is now repaired. Now I am just waiting on the stereo parts.
Saturday will be a GOOD day.

I have a found some rims for @ $120 that will hold me over until I can buy my dream rims.
Which ones should I choose?

These (name ?) 16x7.5's?

or the AZEV 16x7.5's?

These are my dream rims:

as I said on the phone,16" are really too small for my taste,the first set of rims are tsw blades.
if I had to choose from the above,I would buy the tsw rims.

greets from berlin

These are just temporary until I can buy the Billets in 18".

Well some one else beat me to the top ones so I took these.

They'll hold me over for now.

Good Golly Miss Molly look what I picked-up today.
Rear suspension

Front Suspension

It's simple to put the front suspension together. Lefty-loosey, righty-tighty right? Ain't I just a smart ass?

I will be painting the shocks and struts the same color so that they match.
The question is red, yellow or black? My new bushings are red poly. So maybe red? Or yellow to match the Springs and brake saddles?
What do you guys and gals think?

[This message has been edited by Fiero1Fan (edited 01-31-2006).]

Beautiful! Much better than my attempt with a pressure washer and POR-15... but mine was cheaper :-)

Who said that red and yellow don't look good together? :-)

I only paid 250€ for the coating. How much was all your materials for the POR-15?

I'll have you know I scored just under a cement truck on my SAT's. With that kind of work being done on your ride, I foresee a sweet car in your future.

Not smart but a Seer? Interesting.

Don't have to be smart to be a seer. Remember the soothsayer in Julius Caesar. He told Caesar to beware the Ides of March. He should have told him to watch out for Brutus.

Well things aren't going so good today. I can't get the adjustment bolt out of the UCA. The Police would give me a big citation if I burn them out here in Germany. I'll have to think of something else.

Which bolts are you talking about? The ones with the bushings on them, or the ones that mount the control arm to the crossmember?
