Yeah I was a bit surprised when I saw your thread but damn it will be a beast.

[JasonY]

Yeah, its gonna be fun! Doing something new with my car is one of the few things that will keep me interested in the car. Right now its boring

I can understand that, mine is finally starting to paying off.

Edit: hopefully I'll enjoy it running well for a while before I tear in again. ha ha

i'm using the cast crank to justify a 20k rebuild on mine.

Polished another throttle body, just need to take the old one off and put this one on. Also had the leather on the seats "restored"... looks a lot better and was a lot cheaper than having them reupholstered.

Alright, I'll bite. How did you do the restore? I'd like to work on the seats in my GP, and even the black leather seats I have to go into the Stealth.

[dbest671]

I looked up leather restoration/repair and found a place in Nashville that had a good reputation. I didn't do them myself, and I don't know what exactly they did. The cost was $350 for both seats. The driver's bolster was the worst part, but they both had "issues". They had them done in a day and sealed/conditioned them also.

They look really good but for only $250 - $300 plus your time you could have replaced everything with new leather.

[GTOX]

...Thats what I was thinking, still look good though and much less hassle.

Oh no, I got a quote and it was almost $900 for new leather, I want quality. And I have seen DIY installs, and well I rather have somebody that knows what they are doing than trying to "wing it" to.
