Make sure you install the seats THEN the seals... LOL stupid me put seals on first and forgot about the seats... That's what started this whole issue with them coming loose, I had to remove then re-use them.

Seats and seals arrived today. Only 11 of the 12 seats were shipped.
I'm over this.

MF man....people these days. Never got my $250 ported TB for my Eco. Had to get it from another place. Which cost much less and the guy even port matched it to the intake. Did have to send in my own TB though.
keep'em flying!

I can send you one if you really need it and it's not getting handled... I'm obviously not using mine.

Apparently they found it in their cleaning machine, and sent it out Saturday. I should have it by Christmas. Merry Christmas to me I guess, right?

The final seat arrived yesterday, and I did make sure to verify it matched all of the others, which it did!

Picked these up for Spring... I believe the clear turn signal lamps will look better than the amber ones.

Re: The Derretta, 1994 base with some attitude.
Things have been crazy between a job change for me and trying to get things together to also get my old Caprice running (a '78 for those that don't know), along with Tyler and his lady getting ready to have a kid here any time now, but I was finally able to get the seats and seals to Tyler. It's not like I'm rushed, the car has been a mess mechanically for a few years now, and it's not like I planned on driving it in the salt and snow anyways.

I don't remember when I pulled out the motor on Amy's bronco but we just got everything finished and completely running last night. Sometimes projects take a while.

Re: The Derretta, 1994 base with some attitude.
Projects do take time, motivation, money, and all those to align just right in order to make it progress/come together. I know lately I've had no desire to wrench turn on my own projects, but have done else projects that were not mine. Mainly due to not having motivation. This weather is not helping!

Yeah I've had a similar issue... May actually go out in the garage today and put the pink car on stands and start in on the exhaust.

Re: The Derretta, 1994 base with some attitude.
I finally have a 7 - 5 Monday through Friday job, but up until recently the weekends have been pretty nasty weather wise. Either that or the lady and I have family functions, which are more important anyways.
Last weekend was wonderful though, almost got the top of the engine finished in my Caprice. Touching up the block and doing an intake gasket sounds easy but time, weather, and motivation are definitely huge factors!
Was going to do more yesterday, but... Insane winds and snow showers sort of put things to a halt for that car. To show how bad it was out my way, this wasn't far from where I live either.
