I haven't posted anything here in a while so I figured I would show some pictures of what I have been up to lately:

I still need to get new carpet...

Everything had been done by myself.

Seriously! Bigger pics and MORE pics!

Tell us how you did the things you've done!

If you go to my cardomain (in my sig), you can make the photos there a lot bigger (I just didn't want to post huge photos here).

I'm glad you guys like it!

I've been trained as a tailor so I applied my sewing skills to my car (and spent a bunch of time hanging around auto upholstery shops).


The valve cover and plenum were a bit more involved...

...lots of sanding, buffing, and elbow grease.

Wow that make me feel alot better cuz It took me a whole day to wrap and hand sew just the leather steering wheel.

Thanks!

Camricer, do you have one of those wheelskins covers? I was looking at those but I decided to make my own as I wanted the cover to extend all the way up on the four sides.

I understand ur thinking. I actually repaint the whole steering black to match the leather skin. They actually blend in pretty well, but i'm sure yours would be much much cleaner :thumbsup:

Camricer, that's not bad :thumbsup:

I also decided to make the wheel fit my hands a bit better so I carved out some of the area around the top two spokes.

Thanks! I love your car, by the way - I'm currently using your engine bay photo as my desktop background.
