There's actually a hint in one of the interior pics that I posted in the beginning. Let's see if anyone can spot it.

Nope not Alcantara, that shift boot will actually be changed soon to match.

And yes the car was bought with most of these mods on it, that is admitted almost immediately in the thread. The build thread part of it is more for what's to come in the near future.

Well whosever it was, they did a nice job. That car was gorgeous right off the truck, right down to the purple lugs.

Congrats, can't wait to see what you do to it.

Nope that's what was in it, now those seats are in my Living Room lol.
Yea hopefully, I have to figure out exactly what I'm doing first, I keep going back and forth haha. When are you supposed to get the Turbo back?

Well it has been a month and a half, it was supposed to go out to me last week, now apparently it's a delay at the machine shop so who knows when I will get it.

I have been wanting a set of clothe SII seats, I like the way they look/feel and they are light. In fact the factory cloth seats are lighter than the Sparco's we put in Hoss-05's car.

That sucks man, hope they come through soon.

One of the local guys is interested in them, if he doesn't buy them I'll be posting them up for sale.
