mail man was busy today. dropped off new strut tops from german autoparts, coilovers from rapidparts.com, new headliner and shift boot from TweedleDub, and my seat backs finally came back from the embroiderer.

first let me say: if you havent ordered a headliner from Mrs Lee, then what are you waiting for?

I got mine in all black with red double stitching and I almost cried when I opened up the package. its GORGEOUS.

I cannot wait to get this in the car, but I need to find time to work on it. - working 12 hour days all this week sucks.  

the megasquirt ECU came in yesterday, and I got it all built last night and into today, but thats for another thread. Tonight I chose to be productive on my seats. here are some pics of the proccess.

the fabric:

the old seatback

the peice is finished, just needs to the stitched into the seat. - I did the last part by hand so I could put the thread back through the old holes in the vinyl so it wouldnt look like it had been resewn.. - plus, it was alot easier than tearing my entire seat cover off of the frame again. thats no fun!

anyway, here are a couple really bad pictures of it finished. - the only good thing about these pics is that the colors more accurate than all the other pics.. they actually look more like blood red than hot pink. but my camera sucks so what can I do?

next up, healiner install
