What did you do today to your 3/S?

Re-stitching isn't bad if you go slow. However finding a good heavy duty thread in the right color isn't as easy as taking a trip to the local fabric store though. When I redid my seat I had to settle for a lighter weight thread than I wanted in order to get the proper color match on the suede.

Already contacted the steering wheel shop, they are going to cover the shipping and labor to correct this. I have contacted my seat manufacturer and will be ordering thread to guarantee a match.

Talked to Brett and this is the company they used: http://lumaleds.com/

They are proud of their LEDs, lol, but he swears by them.

It was a nice day today, so I drove to work with my new steering wheel setup!!!
The missing screw on steering wheel has since been replaced.

So I got a loose driver side hood pin, and this coupling unit from turbonetics to get for the very front center in my engine bay, you can see the extra tight wraping job holding them together, so I plan to bike my car battery over to autozone to charge it up for me, since it has sat all winter in my apt. I'm that dedicated to getting this car back on the road I'll bike a car battery 2 miles each way to get done what needs to be done.

That looks like a phenomenol example. What's wrong with it?

Delayed replly:

Next time you need to color match and the thread is too thing, double it up. It was what the shop had to do with the thread that I sent thetm when I had the wheel re-wrapped. Yes re-wrapped, I didn't like the keystone shape that the dial marker stretched to.

Doubling the thread can work for hand stitching but doesn't help with machine stitching. I machined stitched the seat covers, there was no way I was going to do that by hand.

Totally missed this.

There is a tear in the drivers seat, and the AC doesn't blow cold.

Infact had it out yesterday.

Well done, James!
