    did u just get a pacesetter for your efi dude?????? you should have sandblasted it and coated gunmetal ceramic too. But all i have to say is, first thing ur done with it, take it to a carshow. I would say 100% chance of you winning something big. Your car is just kickass man.

    PS. I know i mentioned this in one of your other threads, but the color, i love it.

    It looks good. Props on the thorough work. It's a great job so far.
    No projects. Life consumes my time and money.

    Yeah I cheaped out a went for the Pacesetter. What I was going to do is cover in that material tape stuff... can't think of it what's it's called right. It's made of somekind of cloth anyways I procrastinated too long and was hoping that it wouldn't look so bad. Oh well... I'll redo it one day.

    You're too kind man. You'll have to let me know if you're judging a car show one day, I'll be there..

    Thanks for the comments guys.. It feels great to finally see this car come together. It's been pretty well a year now since it died and I took it off the road.

    They are called "Header wrap" catalin, they are supposed to lock the head from the header and make the temp of the engine bay a lot less colder. Their purpose is for high revving and turbo cars cause their head production under combustion is crazy. So urs would be more for hiding ur pacesetter .

    Oh by the way, im not too kind man. I just recognize people's hardwork. And i do that by following up on their work. Not a lot of people spend money and time doing it RIGHT. but you are doing it. If i can, i would have went that route, but money is something i dont have, but soon i will.

    Just wait, when i go turbo, you will get my DC header. I will leave the O2 sensors in em if you want, and guess what, it will be within a year if i can fathom .

    thats not bad. Thats a pretty bright ass orange though. I think a carbon fiber hood would set it off nicely. Looking foward to pictures of it completed!

    Headliner material...

    Any auto upholstery should have a matching color for your car. An upholstery shop did the job for me, but it's a simple process. All you need is some spray glue and some patience.... clean hands too.

    Car looks pretty cool man. Do you have any bigger/better pics of the interior? And just out of curiosity... how much did it cost to get the seats recovered?
