crappy think about doing the black seats is that i'd have to re do the back seat since it was matched to my current interior. lolz *FYI my fingers ached for weeks after sewing up those seats

The 5.0 red interiors are my fav. by far!!
(well the carpet and seat's are WAY over kill.)



I needed new seats, got those which are PERFECT for $100. I plan on some black racing seat's and black carpet.


good luck on the project mang. I look forward to be brake swap, as its something i need to do bad.

it'll be a while this car is getting a whole make over. next week i will start smoothing the engine bay and then painting before christmas. these are my ideas for color.





engine bay will be gloss black and the underbody will be rubberized/rust proofed. i aint losin this car to rust like my last one.

after paint then the whole thing will be x'fered. i also obtained a 4 lug disk brake rear w/ 3.55 gears for 75 dollars. now i just have to make sure it fits. its about 3/4 of an inch longer on each side than a stock fox 8.8

I haven't yet but I know I am going to. Don't know exactly what I am going to use. I know I won't have the money or time to get what I want which is chasis black from eastwood co. or POR15 so I will probably just give it a good couple coats of duplicolors rubberised undercoating.

What is the rear end out of????
